Lufthansa increases distribution cost charge

The Lufthansa Group will increase distribution cost charges (DCC) to £14 (R257) from June 1.

The airline group, which comprises Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss initially imposed an £11,30 (R207) DCC in 2015.

The DCC does not apply to travel agents using the group’s online booking tool, or those connected to Lufthansa Group airlines’ NDC.

The increase follows IAG-owned British Airways and Iberia increasing their DCCs earlier this month.
