Jet Airways revises fuel surcharge on domestic tickets

07 August 2006

Mumbai: Jet Airways India Ltd has increased fuel surcharge across all tickets in the domestic route by Rs150, effective August 8. The revised surcharge is applicable to all types of fares in both economy and club class tickets. The increase has been necessitated due to the continuing escalation in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices, the company said in a notice to the BSE.

This is the second consecutive revision of ATF prices and fuel surcharge in the last two months.

The revised fuel surcharge of Rs650 (against Rs500 earlier) will be applicable on all tickets purchased within and outside India, issued against rupee tariffs. This will be collected per flight coupon on all domestic routes within India. For tickets issued outside India, a surcharge of $14 per sector will be applicable on domestic travel within India.

The surcharge will not be applicable on sale of tickets made on or before August 7. However, the surcharge will be applicable if tickets are presented for any voluntary change on or after August 8, the company said in the release.

Jet Airways operates over 300 flights daily to 43 cities across the country and international destinations, including London (Heathrow), Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Colombo and Kathmandu.
