Airlines may hike fare to compensate high Air Turbine Fuel cost

Travelling by budget airlines may become costlier in coming days as there are chances that domestic airlines may increase the fares to offset the increasing cost of fuel.

After IndiGo imposed fuel surcharge to compensate the high Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) which will affect its fares, travel agents are fearing that many other airlines may follow suit. This will increase the cost of air tickets for destinations from Jaipur.

ATF makes an important component of air tickets and the way ATF price has been going up, the ticket rates may increase in coming days, informed a travel agent while speaking to DNA.

At the beginning the month of May, the ticket charges of flights of various airlines flying from Jaipur to cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad etc were very low. At the time when the trains are overbooked, the fare for Delhi were between Rs 1800 and Rs 2100, for Mumbai it was about Rs 3,900, Ahmedabad tickets were at about Rs 3,300 till recently.
