ATF Price Hike from May 1: International Flight Fuel Costs Rise, Domestic Rates Stay Unchanged
With May kicking off, the aviation sector has been hit with another rise in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices. This marks the second straight month of increased jet fuel costs, adding fresh financial pressure on airlines and raising concerns over possible fare hikes for passengers.
International Airlines Face Fresh Fuel Price Surge
State-owned oil companies have raised ATF prices for international carriers by nearly 5 percent. In Delhi, the revised fuel price has reached around $1511.86 per kiloliter, reflecting an increase of nearly $76.55 per kiloliter.
This latest jump is expected to push operating expenses higher for international airlines, and travelers flying abroad may soon see more expensive ticket prices.
Domestic Airlines Get Temporary Relief
In contrast, domestic airlines have been spared from any immediate fuel price increase this month. ATF rates for domestic operators remain unchanged, signaling an effort by authorities to prevent sudden fare hikes for local travelers.
This move is aimed at maintaining stability in domestic aviation and protecting passengers from additional travel costs for now.
