  "summary": "IndiGo has increased its fuel charges on domestic and international flights due to rising Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices. The airline's domestic fuel charges now range from ₹375 to ₹1,300, depending on the distance travelled. According to Hindustan Times, for domestic routes, flights up to 500 km will incur a charge of ₹375, up to 1000km ₹600, up to 1500km ₹900, up to 2000km ₹1,150, and beyond 2000km ₹1,300.\n\nFor international flights, the charges vary by region. As per Hindustan Times, flights to SAARC routes up to 500 km will incur a charge of ₹1,000, and beyond 500 km ₹3,000. Flights to Southeast Asia, the Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, and North and East Asia will incur a charge of ₹5,500. The fuel charge for Africa will be ₹6,000 and ₹10,000 for Europe.\n\nThe revised fuel charges apply to all new bookings made from 00:01 am on October 6, 2026, and do not affect existing bookings. IndiGo stated that ATF prices have remained volatile in recent months, particularly due to geopolitical issues in the Middle East, with the latest month-on-month increase exceeding 14%. This rise in fuel costs is expected to impact airlines' cost structures and network economics.",
