Nobody is saying that the airline industry is in great shape.
But I don't think you can deny that AF/KL is very quick to impose and increase fuel surcharges and very reluctant and slow to remove or lower them.
I repeat my point, the EU should ban fuel surcharge practices and force ALL airlines to include their costs in their fares - this increases transparency for all.
