Indigo Introduces Fuel Charge

Biggest domestic carrier IndiGo on 5 October said that it is introducing a fuel charge on domestic and international routes, effective 6 October to check rising ATF prices.

The decision follows the significant increase in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices, which have surged in the last three months with consecutive price hikes every month.

ATF accounts for a substantial portion of an airline's operating expenses, necessitating fare adjustment to address such a cost surge.

Under this pricing structure, passengers booking IndiGo flights will incur a fuel charge, per sector, based on the sector distance.

On 1 October, the government jet fuel or ATF price by 5%, the fourth straight monthly increase since July.

The increase comes on the back of the steepest-ever 14.1% increase (Rs 13,911.07 per kl) effected on September 1 and an 8.5% or Rs 7,728.38 per kl increase on 1 August.

The fourth straight increase in prices of jet fuel, which makes up for 40 per cent of an airline's operating cost, will increase the burden on already financially-strained airlines.

Indian airlines are known for their mischiefs and managing an airline business is not so easy. How has IndiGo managed to take off in recent months then? To know why, check out why IndiGo share price is rising.

From June 2022 to June 2023, the stock has rallied 52%.
