Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said: "Ryanair is committed to giving passengers Europe's lowest fares everyday. Our pledge to consumers is clear and unambiguous - the fare you pay, is the fare you pay. Every Ryanair passenger can rest assured that Ryanair guarantees no fuel surcharges - not today, not tomorrow, not ever. BA's first instinct last May was to penalise passengers with a fuel surcharge instead of reducing costs to pay for higher oil prices, and today they're at it again, with a second round of even HIGHER fuel surcharges. It is wrong, unfair and anti-consumer that passengers who have already purchased high priced BA tickets, and paid a fuel surcharge now have to pay a second surcharge. BA are nothing more than a bunch of price gougers, ripping off consumers with high fares and surcharges. At Ryanair we believe in low fares. That's why Ryanair is the UK's favourite airline for UK/European travel."
