Chennai: An increase in the price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) in Chennai, the second most expensive in the country, has made red-eye flights expensive for airlines and passengers.
This may even put a cap on these flights, operated between midnight and 4.30am, from Chennai airport.
Airlines suffer losses, leading to an increase in fares of such flights to various domestic destinations.
ATF in Chennai costs Rs 73,534 per kilo litre, more expensive than at Delhi and Mumbai airports. It is the most expensive at Kolkata, at Rs 77,638 per kilo litre.
On the Chennai-Delhi route next week, fare on the night flight is Rs 8,000 to Rs 8,900. On the Mumbai route, the 5am flight costs Rs 7,000, the non-stop 3.30am, flight to Pune is Rs 6,000 while a one stop flight is lower. Similar is the price difference on flights to Thiruvananthapuram.
