Mumbai: State oil marketing companies on Sunday, increased aviation turbine fuel prices by 6%, the third consecutive monthly price hike.
The revision adds to the cost pressure already being borne by the carriers and could lead to rise in fares.
A kilolitre of jet fuel will now cost Rs 53,045 in Delhi in October, up 6% from the September price. On a year-to-date basis, jet fuel price is just around 1% higher but it is 13% higher on a year-on-year basis.
"The costs have gone up significantly so this will see an impact on pricing soon," said a senior executive of a private airline.
So far no airline has notified an increase in fares.
"The increase in crude oil prices and rupee depreciation has raised concerns regarding airlines' profits and a 1% change in rupee and crude would have an impact of around 4-5% and 3-4% on earnings (other things remaining same), " Santosh Hiredesai of SBICAP Securities wrote in an investor note.
