Flying is getting costlier. Air India and Air India Express have announced higher fuel surcharges on domestic and select international flights, following IndiGo's increase earlier this week.
"ATF prices have remained volatile in recent months amid geopolitical developments and sustained pressure on global energy markets. The latest increase has pushed up airline operating costs, with fuel accounting for a substantial share of overall expenditure," the Tata Group airlines said.
The revised surcharge applies to new bookings from 12 am on October 9 for Air India Express, and from 11 am on October 9 for Air India.
