Pakistan Hikes Jet Fuel 5th Time in 28 Days Amid West Asia Conflict

• Pakistan raises jet fuel price for commercial passenger aircraft for the fifth time in 28 days.
• The latest hike by Pakistan State Oil increases jet fuel to a record PKR 476.97 per litre, up PKR 288 since March 1.
• Surging aviation fuel costs are leading to increased ticket prices for both domestic and international flights.
• Domestic one-way fares on major routes are reaching up to PKR 40,000, with international economy class fares up to PKR 700,000.
• The price escalation, alongside other fuel tax changes, intensifies the cost of living and inflationary pressures in Pakistan.
