Air India Hikes Fares, Adds Fuel Surcharge from March 12
Flight Tickets to Get Costlier from March 12: Airfares are set to rise as Air India has announced a fuel surcharge on both domestic and international flights starting March 12.
The airline said passengers will have to pay an extra ₹399 per ticket on domestic and SAARC region flights. For international routes, the surcharge will vary depending on the destination.
Air India Fare Hike Linked to Rising Jet Fuel Prices
According to the airline, passengers will pay around $10 for flights to West Asia, $60 for Southeast Asia, and $90 for Africa. These changes will also apply to flights to Singapore, where currently no fuel surcharge is charged.
Air India said the decision was taken due to the sharp rise in jet fuel prices, which has been linked to tensions and conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran in the Middle East.
The airline added that the new surcharge system will be introduced in phases as fuel prices continue to rise.
