Airlines Abandon Higher Fuel Surcharge

A doubling of the fuel surcharge tacked on to most tickets by American Airlines and other carriers has apparently flopped, the second straight unsuccessful effort by airlines to boost the fee. American last week raised its fuel surcharge to $40 from $20 for many round trip flights, and over the weekend other carriers went along. But by Monday, Northwest Airlines Corp. had began a gradual retreat, which forced other airlines to also drop the fee, according to analysts who watch air fareslinks.

American Airlines to Offer In-flight Internet

American Airlines has started installing equipment for high-speed Internet service on jetliners used for cross-country trips. American, the nation's largest carrier, said Tuesday it completed installation on one Boeing 767 last week and plans to add equipment and test the technology on all 15 of the 767s it uses primarily on transcontinental flights
