Other airlines are also planning
Sources associated with the aviation industry told in a conversation with NDTV Profit that all other airlines are also considering reducing the fuel surcharge. A decision in this matter can be taken by the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter. However, airlines believe that although international jet fuel prices have decreased recently, they are still higher than the old average level. Therefore, companies want to see whether this fall in prices continues for a long time or not.
How will passengers benefit?
Air tickets can become cheaper due to reduced fuel surcharge, such that fuel surcharge is a part of the total price of the ticket. When the airline reduces it, passengers have to pay less for the ticket. In such a situation, people traveling abroad can get a lot of relief from this. However, reduction in fuel surcharge does not at all mean that tickets have become cheaper forever. Because the final price of the ticket is decided according to the base fare, airport charge, tax, user development fee (UDF) and other charges.
