The Vietnam Airlines has decided to cancel its fuel surcharge on domestic flights from next month.

The national carrier announced on Monday that its decision was prompted by the fall in world oil prices and its estimation that it would fluctuate between US$70-90 a barrel in the near future.

The airlines had introduced the fuel surcharge on August 15 to cope with inflation and fuel price hikes. At first, it applied the additional fees ranging from VND50,000 ($3.2) to VND180,000 ($11.3) on one-way tickets.

It had twice adjusted the rates (August 29, September 4) since world fuel prices began to fall.
