United Airlines Introduces Market Disruption Fee for Cargo to Offset Rising Costs
United Airlines (UAL) is introducing a 'market disruption' surcharge on cargo starting May 1 to offset rising jet fuel and operating costs linked to the Iran war. The move follows a 1.6% decline in first-quarter cargo revenue. The fee varies by region and covers multiple cost factors, similar to the U.S. Postal Service's recent surcharge.
