IndiGo has announced that it will begin levying fuel surcharges on domestic and international flight tickets from 14 March, citing the sharp increase in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices. The surge in fuel costs has been linked to rising geopolitical tensions and the ongoing West Asia crisis, which has affected global energy markets.
Fuel costs constitute a major component of airline operating expenses, and the surcharge is intended to offset the increased operational burden. The move may lead to higher airfares for passengers in the coming months.
