Singapore Airlines (SIA) will increase its fuel surcharge for tickets next week by up to 19 U.S. dollars as a result of higher jet oil prices, the SIA said in a statement.

    After a hike last month, the new levels will apply to all the SIA and its regional wing, SilkAir on or after Dec. 4.

    For regional flights between Singapore and Southeast Asian countries, the surcharge will be raised from 24 U.S. dollars to 26U.S. dollars, while between Singapore and United States and Canada, the levy will increase from 104 U.S. dollars to 123 U.S. dollars.

    The levy for all other flights will increase from 67 U.S. dollars to 75 U.S. dollars.

    "The adjustments will offer only partial relief of higher operating costs arising from increases in the price of jet fuel," said the SIA.

    It added that the price of jet fuel is now hovering around 115 U.S. dollars per barrel.
