Jet Airways, Paramount Airways and SpiceJet to increase ticket prices

Domestic air travel is all set to become even more expensive as the airline companies are planning to increase ticket prices due to increasing price of the aviation turbine fuel.
Jet Airways, Paramount Airways and SpiceJet has already revealed that they are going to increase the rates by Rs 150.
Incidentally, this is the second time in as many months that the ticket prices are going up due to increase in the prices of the ATF.
It is pretty disappointing that the government has done little to control the ever increasing prices of the fuel for the airplanes.
Jet Airways had this to say on the increase in ticket prices: “The surcharge has been necessitated in view of the escalation in ATF prices. The revised fuel surcharge of Rs 1,350 would be applicable on all tickets purchased in the country. For tickets issued abroad, a surcharge of $34 would be applicable on each sector of domestic operations. The surcharge would not apply for tickets sold on or before November 4.”
