NWA Cargo raises fuel surcharge

NWA Cargo raises fuel surcharge    NWA Cargo, the cargo subsidiary of Northwest Airlines, is the latest airline to announce an increase in its fuel surcharge in response to rising fuel prices.

   On the same day, the surcharge will increase to 16 cents a pound from 11 cents for all domestic shipments.
   NWA Cargo adjusts surcharges based on a weekly average index that takes into account fuel prices around the world.
