The current volatility of world crude oil prices has resulted in increased costs for the air freight industry and courier services worldwide. This has necessitated the need to introduce an indexed fuel component as part of our invoice. The component will rise, fall or be removed in line with movements in fuel prices and will be applied to all Jet Worldwide international and domestic services. The index is linked to the monthly average of the daily mid-spot price for a gallon of kerosene type jet fuel (Rotterdam ARA). Monthly fuel prices are published by the US Department of Energy and can be found online. Jet Worldwide reserves the right to change the fuel invoice component for any of our courier services with or without notice and to manage the amount and duration. The current value can be found at the top of this page.
