What is a fuel surcharge (FSC)?
A7 – A fuel surcharge is allowed on a market where a fuel surcharge has been imposed commercially to all customers in the booking inventories (buckets) corresponding to the YCA, _CA and _CB contract fares for a minimum of 14 consecutive days. A fuel surcharge that has been imposed and terminated can only be re-instated after being imposed commercially for 14 consecutive days. This protects the governments interest and reduces the governments administrative process when these types of charges are retracted due to consumer acceptance. A carrier must cease any fuel surcharge on contract fares when the fuel surcharge is no longer imposed commercially. The carrier must also notify the GSA Contracting Officer in writing when the fuel surcharge is removed, identifying the end date of the fuel surcharge. In no instance shall the government be charged a higher fuel surcharge than that imposed commercially. Should a carrier not comply with the above terms, the Government may terminate for cause
