Air India, Akasa hike fuel surcharge as costs climb
The airlines attributed the revisions to sustained increases in fuel prices amid continuing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Air India, Air India Express, and Akasa Air have all revised fuel surcharges in response to soaring aviation fuel prices. Effective October 9, Air India and Air India Express will impose additional charges ranging from ₹400 to ₹1,200 on domestic and international flights, depending on the distance traveled. Akasa Air follows suit by introducing new levies on domestic and select international routes, with charges between ₹375 and ₹2,500.
IndiGo had previously updated its fuel charges on October 5, attributing the change to the sharp increase in ATF prices and recent geopolitical events. These revisions signal the growing financial strain on airlines amid escalating fuel costs.
