Starting November 10, 2008, Ural Airlines is going to reduce the fuel fees for flights to Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh once again. Passengers who use the company’s Egypt-bound flight with the A320 airplane taking off in Yekaterinburg will have to pay $13 in terms of fuel fee; those whose A320 planes take off in Perm will have to pay $9.

Remarkably, this is the eighth time Ural Airlines has reduced the fuel fees for Egypt-bound flights this summer season. The fees actually went up in May and June because of the soaring global oil prices. Then, in August 2008, the prices grew stable and the carrier was finally able to start reducing the fees for popular tourist destinations, the spokesperson for the company reports.

Ural Airlines last decreased the fees as recently as two weeks ago. The fee for flights taking off in Yekaterinburg then came to $21; the fee for flights departing from Perm came to $17.

‘The latest fuel price decrease early in November 2008 has meant that we could afford to reduce our fees once again. Starting November 10, 2008, the fees for flights departing from Yekaterinburg will go down 38%; that for flights taking off in Perm will go down by 47%,’ the airline’s press officer said to an UrBC reporter.
