The airline says the price of Jet A1 fuel at South Africa’s coastal airports has surged by about 70% in just one week.


With no clear end in sight to the conflict, and continued volatility in global energy markets, FlySafair says the surcharge is necessary to sustain its operations and maintain service levels without compromising safety.
