IndiGo fares to rise as airline to levy up to INR400 fuel surcharge per passenger
IndiGo Tuesday announced levying fuel surcharge of up to INR400 (US$5.9) per passenger on domestic routes to offset rising oil prices, a move that would increase fares. IndiGo is the first local carrier to announce passing on the burden of spiralling jet fuel prices to the passengers. In the wake of a sharp uptick in the price of oil and the cost of ATF, it has been decided to re-introduce fuel surcharges effective May 30, the airline said. A sum of INR200 would be levied on every ticket on routes having less than 1,000 kilometre distance. The amount would be INR400 on routes longer than 1,000 kilometre. “A marginal increase in airfares in the form of fuel surcharge will not have any significant adverse impact on the air-traffic demand,” the airline said. <br/>
