IndiGo Imposes Fuel Surcharge on Flights Amid Soaring Oil Prices, West Asia Conflict

• IndiGo introduces a fuel surcharge on domestic and international flights starting March 14.
• The move follows a sharp rise of over 85% in jet fuel prices, attributed to the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
• Air India had previously announced similar fuel surcharges across its network due to rising aviation turbine fuel (ATF) costs.
• New charges per sector range from Rs 425 for domestic India to Rs 2,300 for Europe.
• IndiGo stated it's a relatively smaller charge to mitigate customer burden, despite significant cost impact.
