IndiGo Airlines is set to increase fuel charges on all domestic and international flights booked from October 6, 2026, due to a significant rise in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices. The airline cites a sharp month-on-month ATF price increase of over 14% as a major factor driving up operational costs across the aviation industry.
For domestic flights, the revised charges will range from ₹375 for journeys up to 500 km to ₹1,300 for flights exceeding 2,000 km. Specifically, passengers will face a ₹600 charge for flights covering up to 1,000 km, ₹900 for distances between 1,001 and 1,500 km, and ₹1,150 for routes stretching up to 2,000 km.
On international routes, the charge will be ₹1,000 for SAARC destinations up to 500 km and ₹3,000 for longer journeys within the region. Flights to Southeast Asia, the Gulf, the Middle East, North Asia, and East Asia will incur a ₹5,500 charge, while passengers traveling to Africa will pay ₹6,000, and those flying to Europe will face a ₹10,000 charge.
IndiGo emphasizes that the adjustment aims to partially offset the higher operating costs while minimizing the impact on passengers. The airline has committed to continuously monitoring fuel prices and market conditions to inform any further adjustments.
