Porter Airlines is advising that it is readjusting the fuel surcharge on VIPorter reward flights.
The company notes that in June, it was able to reduce the fuel surcharge on VIPorter reward flights to $20, and was moving toward its goal of eliminating those fuel surcharges entirely.
In a statement, the company said: “We truly hoped our next update would confirm that full removal. However, the global oil market has since experienced unexpected and sharp price increases.”
And the statement continued: “To ensure we can continue offering the full value of your VIPorter points during this period of rising jet fuel prices, we must temporarily readjust the surcharge to $40.”
The company made it clear that: “This is not the direction we wanted to take. While these recent market shifts have stalled our progress in removing the surcharge, our commitment remains unchanged. We plan to remove it entirely when market conditions allow.”
And it states that: “This update applies only to new VIPorter reward bookings made as of July 17, 2026,” and it advised that “all your existing bookings remain fully protected at their original rates. As a reminder, there is no fuel surcharge for regular bookings made without redeeming points.”
