Relief for air passengers as IndiGo waives fuel charge on ATF price fall
NEW DELHI: In a major relief for air passengers, the country’s largest carrier IndiGo has removed fuel charges applicable on its domestic and international routes, effective January 4, 2024. The fuel charge, ranging up to Rs 1,000 per flight, was introduced in October 2023, following a sharp surge in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices.
With the recent reduction in ATF prices, IndiGo is withdrawing the charge. “As ATF prices are dynamic, we will continue to adjust our fares and components thereof, to respond to any change in prices or market conditions. IndiGo remains committed to its promise of providing of affordable, on-time, courteous, and hassle-free travel for our customers,” the airline said in a statement on Thursday.
