Flybe drops its £9 debit card fee

April 27, 2012 By Budget Airline News

British budget airline Flybe has dropped its £9 flat fee for passengers paying for by debit card for flights booked online. This change comes just at Britain’s Office of Fair Trading is considering action against airlines that pass on the debit card transaction fees to the consumer.

In a statement, Flybe said it has removed the debit fee as “”a fair, open and transparent approach to sales and service policies”.

Most budget airlines currently charge a transaction fee per flight leg, per passenger. Flybe’s decision to drop this fee may lead to other budget airlines like Ryanair or EasyJet having to drop theirs too in order to remain competitive.
