Virgin Atlantic is reducing its passenger fuel charges with effect from Wednesday evening.

The charges will be cut by up to £13 per sector depending on the destination and class of cabin.

Economy passengers will pay £10 less on shorter sectors and £13 less on longer sectors while Premium Economy passengers will pay £5 less on shorter sectors and £6.50 less on longer sectors.

For shorter sectors, the new fuel charges will be £68 for Economy, £83 for Premium Economy and £98 for Upper Class.

On longer sectors - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Beijing Tokyo, Shanghai, Sydney, Mauritius, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Hong Kong - charges will be £96, £114.50 and £133 respectively.

The airline said the reduction follows the recent, sustained decrease in the price of crude oil.
