IndiGo hikes fuel charges for all flights: Here's how much more you will end up paying
IndiGo will implement new fuel charges for its flights starting from October 6, 2026. The increase in charges will vary based on the distance of travel for domestic flights. For international flights, the revised fuel charges will range between Rs 1,000 and Rs 10,000. This decision follows the considerable increase in aviation turbine fuel prices amid geopolitical tensions.
IndiGo will hike fuel charges for all flights starting Tuesday, due to soaring aviation turbine fuel (ATF) costs. The new charges will apply to any bookings post midnight on October 6, 2026. For international routes, the fuel charge will vary between Rs 1,000 and Rs 10,000. Domestic flights' charges will depend on the distance traveled, ranging from Rs 375 for flights up to 500 km, up to Rs 1,300 for routes exceeding 2,000 km.
This price hike comes as ATF prices have been fluctuating, especially after geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The airline attributed the increase to sustained rise in ATF costs, which have reached among the highest levels in the past decade.
