IndiGo Airlines is facing a major Operational Crisis for the last 7 days. Till now around 5,000 flights had been cancelled. After the intervention of the Government and the Court, operations have started becoming normal and the company is now operating 1800 flights daily. Due to cancellation, IndiGo has also issued a refund of ₹827 crore to the passengers. But for many travelers, refunds are stuck, reduced or rejected – in such cases, Travel Insurance and Credit Card Insurance can prove to be very useful. Travel Insurance covers loss of Non-Refundable Tickets, Hotel Bookings, Pre-Booked Activities. Allowance ranging from ₹ 1,000 to ₹ 5,000 is available on flight delay without showing the bill. However, there are some exclusions—such as airline error, crew shortage or documentation issues—that may result in the claim being rejected. Many premium and mid-tier credit cards already include travel insurance, but people don’t take advantage of it. Only 3-4% people in India buy travel insurance, whereas 50% in the US and 60% in Germany. In the uncertain situation of aviation and geopolitics, taking travel insurance has become more important than ever.

Big news for air travelers – Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) has become expensive once again since December. Oil Marketing Companies (IOC, BPCL and HPCL) have increased ATF prices for the third consecutive month, due to which the operating costs of airlines have increased further. The new city-wise rates are as follows: ATF in Delhi is ₹99,676.77 per kilolitre, Kolkata is at ₹1,02,371.02 per kilolitre, Mumbai is at ₹93,281.04 per kilolitre, and Chennai is the highest at ₹1,03,301.80 per kilolitre. This month, ATF prices have increased by an average of ₹ 5,113.75 per kilolitre, which can have a big impact on the budget of airlines. Since fuel cost forms the largest part of airlines’ expenses, the impact of this increase can also be seen on the prices of air tickets in the future. Know in this video why ATF became expensive, what effect it will have on airlines, and what further changes can be seen on airfare. Watch the video till the end for complete information.
