Singapore Airlines said on Thursday that it was raising fuel surcharges by up to 15 percent for flight tickets issued from March 26, due to the continued escalation in the price of jet fuel.

"The adjustments will offer only partial relief of higher operating costs arising from increases in the price of jet fuel," the carrier said in a statement.

"Singapore Airlines will continue to monitor the price of jet fuel and keep the application of the fuel surcharge under active review," it said.
