Air France and KLM raised passenger fuel surcharges by €1 (US$1.41) for short and medium-haul flight segments and by €5 (US$7.05) for long-haul flight segments
. The higher surcharge "will be withdrawn as soon as the price of the barrel [of oil] is stabilized over time below US$75 (€53.19)." Crude oil currently is trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at above $80 a barrel.
