IndiGo said on Wednesday that it will revise its fuel charges after the government announced a 25 per cent increase in the ATF prices. "The ongoing geopolitical
situation in the Middle East has significantly affected global supply of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) resulting in continuous and steep increase in its prices. We would like to thank our government for materially insulating the domestic air travel costs from the substantial increase in ATF prices and passing on partial and staggered increase of 25 per cent. IndiGo is reviewing the impact of this revised ATF price on 1st April 2026 on its operating cost and will appropriately announce its revised Fuel Charges shortly," the airline said in an official statement. Meanwhile, Akasa Air said, “We sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the Government of India’s timely intervention for the aviation sector. Such measures help create a stable operating environment for airlines, enabling us to manage costs more effectively, thereby making travel more affordable. We would like to convey our heartfelt appreciation to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas towards enabling stability for airlines which are an essential part of India’s infrastructure growth.” (more to come)
