Safarilink introduces fuel surcharge as global cost pressures rise
Safarilink Aviation has implemented a USD20 per sector fuel surcharge across its network, effective for travel from 10 April 2026, in response to ongoing global fuel cost pressures. The surcharge applies to all new bookings, while existing ticketed bookings for April remain unaffected. However, travel from 1 May 2026 onwards will require tickets to be reissued to include the additional fee.
For the trade, particularly those packaging East Africa itineraries, this introduces an added pricing consideration. While the increase is relatively modest, it may accumulate across multi-sector journeys, especially within Kenya where Safarilink is a key safari carrier. As fuel volatility continues to influence aviation pricing, agents are encouraged to review quotes and communicate any adjustments clearly to clients.
