The price had increased on September 1 also
An increase in ATF prices was also recorded on September 1, after which the concern of airlines companies increased before the beginning of the festive season. It is worth noting that including the increase in the price of air fuel in the month of October, the price of air fuel has been increased four times in a row. Even on July 1, oil companies had increased the price of ATF by 1.65 percent.
The main reason behind the increase in the price of jet fuel is the increase in the price of crude oil. In the last few days, there has been a huge increase in the price of crude oil in the international market and its price has reached $97. In such a situation, from July till now, the price of crude oil has seen a tremendous increase of 30 percent and in September alone, there has been a tremendous increase of 15 percent.
There will be pockets in the festive season
With the beginning of October, the festive season will start in a few days. On the occasion of Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali and Chhath, people go to their homes in large numbers. In such a situation, the effect of increase in the price of air fuel will also be visible on the air fare. In the coming days, airlines companies may pass this burden on their customers and air travel may become expensive for you during the festive season.
