Airline Bmi said it would increase its fuel surcharge on long-haul flights with immediate effect because of the rise in oil prices.
The carrier, which runs flights to London Heathrow from Teesside International Airport, said its surcharge would rise from £5 for a return flight to £12 - although the domestic and short-haul routes will not be affected.
The new charge applies to all fares purchased in the UK for travel on BMI services from Manchester to the USA and the Caribbean.
The £5 fuel surcharge for short-haul journeys will remain the same.
