MUMBAI: Air passengers may have to spend more as oil marketing companies have increased the price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF).
ATF now costs ₹63,472.22 per kilolitre in Delhi, up ₹677 (over 1%) from ₹62,795 per kl last month, according to the notification by the Indian Oil Corporation. A similar hike in the prices was seen in Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai.
“The 1% increase in ATF price is expected to affect air travel especially ahead of the peak travel season,” said Sharat Dhall, COO (B2C), Yatra.com.
