IndiGo removes surcharge after 3 months as aviation fuel prices decline

Airfares in the country are set to fall, with IndiGo on Thursday removing the fuel charge in response to the gradual decline in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices in the last three months.

India’s biggest airline had on October 5 imposed a fuel surcharge of up to Rs 1,000 based on flight distance. “The fuel charge was introduced in October 2023, following a surge in Aviation Turbine Fuel prices. With recent reduction in ATF prices, IndiGo is withdrawing the charge,” said IndiGo.
