In recent weeks, crude oil and kerosene prices have continued to rise and in response
to this development, Lufthansa is adjusting its fuel surcharges on its flights.The
fuel surcharge on domestic
German and intra-European routes will increase by three euros to 27 euros per flight
segment. On long-haul routes the corresponding fuel surcharge will be raised by five
euros to 97 euros per flight
segment. The increases will apply to all Lufthansa tickets issued on or after 17
July 2008.

Lufthansa last increased its fuel surcharges on 16 June 2008 - on European flights
by three euros to 24 euros and on long-haul flights by ten euros to 92 euros.

Lufthansa continually monitors oil prices and will make any future adjustments to
the fuel surcharge dependent on further trends in the price of jet fuel.
