Globe says expect surcharges from Air Canada, others

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that as the war in Iran enters its second month, major companies, from airlines and couriers to on-line retail giants and grocers, are passing on fuel surcharges of as much as 20 per cent to consumers. The Globe's Mariya Postelnyak writes that Air Canada Vacations started implementing a $50 fee per passenger on some destinations. WestJet became the latest airline last week to announce a $60 fuel surcharge on all bookings made using a companion voucher from its MasterCard loyalty rewards program. Air Canada, meanwhile, does not have a specific fuel surcharge on tickets. "We are managing fuel costs through our regular fare structure," the airline said. With fuel prices reaching a national average of $1.86 a litre this week, it costs around 35-per-cent more to fill up a regular gas-powered vehicle than just a month ago. And it is about 45-per-cent more when it comes to the diesel trucks delivering parcels, produce and other consumer goods. Amazon, meanwhile, announced Thursday that it will apply a 3.5-per-cent surcharge to sellers using its Fulfillment by Amazon program starting April 17, costs that sellers will ultimately have to weigh whether to pass on to shoppers.
