New Delhi, March 14 Akasa Air will impose fuel surcharges ranging from ₹199 to ₹1,300 on domestic and international flight tickets from March 15, due to the surge in jet fuel prices amid the West Asia conflict.
Air India, Air India Express, and IndiGo have already started imposing similar charges on domestic and international flight tickets.
In a statement on Saturday, Akasa Air said it would levy a fuel surcharge for each flight, and the amount would vary depending on the duration of the flight.
"Akasa Air will introduce a fuel surcharge ranging from ₹199 to ₹1,300 on our domestic and international routes, for all bookings made from 00:01 hrs on March 15, 2026," it said.
According to the airline, there has been a significant increase in the price of aviation turbine fuel, driven by evolving geopolitical developments in West Asia.
"As fuel represents a significant portion of airline operating costs, this impacts the cost of operations across the aviation industry," the statement said.
Furthermore, Akasa Air said it would continue to closely monitor the operating environment and review the fuel surcharge periodically.
