That's not so uncommon these days.
And a 'small' charge of what £20 to £30 per *sector*? That means somebody travelling from Europe to SE Asia or Australia potentially gets hit for the charge 4 times - which means £80 to £120. That isn't quite so small.
Paxing All Over The World
EK have assiduously built their market share with low prices for many years. They have got pax used to travelling with them and using their FFM scheme, they are not part of a main stream group (One World etc.) so they have controlled their own partners and deals. They have spent millions on advertising and sponsorship to make them selves a world known name.
Now it's time recoup some cash. This is business SOP.
