Air travel gets costlier in India
MUMBAI: With public sector
oil firms increasing Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) sale prices by 18.5 per cent,
major air-carriers have raised fuel surcharge with effect from Tuesday, making
air travel costlier.
While
national air-carrier Air India announced its decision to hike fuel surcharge on
Saturday, other carriers announced their hikes on
Monday.
With the increase, a
passenger will be charged Rs 2,250 as fuel surcharge for a distance up to 750
kms, and Rs 2,900 for beyond 750 kms, a Jet Airways spokesperson said on
Monday.
Kingfisher and Deccan
too followed suit by hiking their fuel surcharge by Rs 300 for short-haul and Rs
550 for long hauls.
"Kingfisher and
Deccan have decided to increase their fuel surcharge from June 3," a Kingfisher
Airlines spokesperson said.
Other air-carriers are
likely to follow suit in a day or two, according to indications
available.
