KLM CARGO INCREASES FUEL SURCHARGE
EFFECTIVE MARCH 3, 2003
AMSTELVEEN, February 14, 2003 Due to recent developments in fuel prices, KLM Cargo today announced that it will increase the fuel surcharge worldwide from EUR/USD 0.10 to 0.15 per kilo actual weight, effective March 3, 2003.
This decision is based on developments in the fuel price index. KLM Cargo has stipulated procedures for implementing, increasing, reducing or withdrawing a fuel surcharge. This procedure is outlined on the KLM Cargo website (www.klmcargo.com news).
During the past two weeks, the fuel index exceeded the 165 mark, the trigger point for implementing a 0.15 cents surcharge.

FUEL SURCHARGE ON KLM PASSENGER FARES
AMSTELVEEN, February 25, 2003 Starting March 1, 2003 KLM will apply a fuel surcharge to its passenger airfares. European flights will take on a surcharge of USD 5.00 for each one-way flight and intercontinental flights will have a USD 10.00 surcharge per one-way flight.
The surcharge is the result of the high jet fuel prices lasting many months. A number of US carriers have already taken similar measures.
KLM intends to withdraw the surcharge as soon as such a decision is viable.
