Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe’s biggest airline group, will introduce a surcharge of up to €72 ($77) per flight next year to cover the rising costs of alternative fuels needed to lower aircraft emissions.
The added levies apply to all departures from the European Union, the UK, Norway and Switzerland, from Jan. 1, the company said in a statement Tuesday. They will start at €1, with the exact amount dependent on the route and fare.
