Centre may push airlines to reduce passenger charges amid lower fuel prices

Published by Webster

The government may soon ask airlines to review and reduce surge pricing and additional passenger charges if the recent decline in crude oil and aviation fuel prices proves to be sustainable, Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu said on Thursday. The Centre is closely monitoring trends in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices and has initiated discussions with airlines to assess whether the current easing in fuel costs is likely to continue over the long term. “At present, we are seeing prices coming down, but we need to assess whether this is a long-term reduction or a temporary fall. Discussions with airlines are underway,” Naidu said. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here. All rights belong to their respective owners.

Published by Parlour News

On World Environment Day today, actor Bhumi Satish Pednekkar says her journey as a climate advocate began long before she entered films. Recalling her days as a “curious, troubled, worried teenager” who feared for the planet’s future, the actor, who serves as National Advocate for the UN Sustainable Development Goals, says, “I did not realise that I will actually be working in the space or for the cause. I just grew up imagining that the world is going to come to an end because of all the man-made disasters that we are pushing our planet towards. I felt like I was a naive child then, but look at the reality that we are living today. We are living that nightmare.” Bhumi Satish Pednekkar Rejecting the notion that individual actions do not matter, Bhumi, who has represented India at the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland), adds, “The attitude of ‘Mere karne se kya hoga’ cannot exist today. Every small action matters.” For Bhumi, one of the most difficult changes in her own life was reducing …

Air India, which this month reported an annual record loss of over $2 billion in the 2025-26 fiscal year, has also struggled with the ban preventing Indian carriers from using Pakistan’s airspace. On Wednesday, Air India cited previously announced adjustments to select international services between June and August and said it has temporarily rationalised operations on certain domestic routes during the same period, with a reduction in frequencies on select routes. “These adjustments are driven by the sustained …
