The price of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, for international airlines was raised by 5 per cent on Friday, marking the second consecutive monthly increase as state-owned oil firms pass on a global rise in energy costs in a calibrated manner. There is no change in ATF rates for domestic carriers.
ATF was increased by USD 76.55 per kilolitre, or 5.33 per cent, to USD 1,511.86 per kl in Delhi, home to India’s busiest airport, according to the oil companies.
This follows the doubling of rates on April 1. On that day, rates for domestic airlines were hiked by 25 per cent to Rs 104,927.18 per kl.
Jet fuel prices were deregulated more than two decades ago and have since been aligned with international benchmark prices under a written understanding with airlines. Industry sources said the steep rise prompted by the West Asia crisis led the government and state-owned firms to adopt a calibrated approach. While foreign and other overseas carriers will pay market rates, prices for domestic airlines have been moderated.
