IndiGo introduces fuel charge to offset rising ATF prices
IndiGo, India’s leading airline, is introducing a fuel charge on domestic and international routes, effective 00:01hrs October 06, 2023. The decision follows the significant increase in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices, which have surged in the last three months with consecutive price hikes every month. ATF accounts for a substantial portion of an airline’s operating expenses, necessitating fare adjustment to address such a cost surge.
Under this pricing structure, passengers booking IndiGo flights will incur a fuel charge, per sector, based on the sector distance.
| Sector Distance (in km) | Fuel Charge |
| 0-500 | INR 300 |
| 501-1000 | INR 400 |
| 1001-1500 | INR 550 |
| 1501- 2500 | INR 650 |
| 2501 – 3500 | INR 800 |
| 3501 and above | INR 1000 |
IndiGo remains committed to offer affordable fares to its valued customers. IndiGo will also publish the tariff sheet subsequently, with the sector-wise charges that can be viewed on www.goindigo.in
