IndiGo is the second Indian carrier after Air India to impose the levy and joins a growing list of airlines hiking fares. International Air Transport Association’s jet fuel monitor indicates 85 per cent increase in fuel price in the region.
“Aviation turbine fuel represents a significant share of airlines’ operating cost. This sudden and steep increase will have a material impact on all airlines’ costs and network, including IndiGo’s. While offsetting the entire impact of this fuel price surge requires a very substantial adjustment to fares, IndiGo has introduced a relatively smaller amount as a fuel charge keeping in mind the consequential burden on customers,” the airline said in a statement on Friday.
