IndiGo to Impose Fuel Surcharge

IndiGo on March 16 announced the introduction of a fuel surcharge across all domestic and international routes amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

The airline is facing a sharp rise in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices triggered by the escalating tensions involving Iran, United States, and Israel in the region, according to a company statement.

Due to the disruption, the airline has adjusted its operations on Middle East routes and will operate 36 daily flights between March 16 and March 28, 2026, significantly lower than the earlier schedule of around 150-160 flights per day.

To partially offset the surge in jet fuel costs, IndiGo has implemented a fuel surcharge effective March 14, 2026. Passengers travelling on domestic and Indian subcontinent routes will pay an additional Rs 425 per sector, while international passengers will be charged a surcharge ranging from Rs 900 to Rs 2,300 depending on the route.
