Fuel Surcharge
The fuel surcharge for International Time Definite services will be based on the daily average spot prices for US Gulf Coast (USGC) kerosene-type jet fuel, as reported by the U.S. Department of Energy between 3rd week release of prior month to 3rd week release of actual month. For example, the daily average price for fuel from 18th April to 15th May is used to determine the applicable surcharge in June. Within Europe this is measured by the European Commission Directorate General for Energy and Transport and published in the Oil Bulletin.
