IndiGo waives fuel surcharge on domestic, and international flights

IndiGo, on Thursday, announced that it would be removing fuel charges from all domestic and international flights following a reduction in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices. This action will go into effect immediately, as stated by the airlines.

The fuel charge was introduced in October 2023 following a surge in ATF prices. It was the fourth consecutive ATF price hike at Rs 1,18,199.17 per kilolitre, a 5.14 per cent increase over the previous month and a 2.32 per cent year-on-year hike.

In November 2023, ATF prices declined by nearly 6 per cent and have continued to decline since. In the new year, jet fuel prices were cut for the third consecutive month by 3.9 per cent to Rs 1,01,993.17 per kl in Delhi.
