AER Lingus has announced the removal of all fuel surcharges on its long haul services.
Aer Lingus has stopped adding fuel surcharges to long haul fares
Since the introduction of fuel surcharges, the airline has kept the price of oil under review and has adjusted the surcharge level in line with movements in fuel prices.
The decision has been taken in the context of reductions in fuel prices over a sustained period.
Dermot Mannion, the airline's Chief Executive described the surcharge removal as "very good news for Aer Lingus customers.
"We have been consistent in our approach to the fuel surcharge. Now that oil prices have fallen and stabilised over the past number of months, we believe the right thing to do is to remove these surcharges altogether."
Aer Lingus did not impose a fuel surcharge on its short haul services.
