Govt caps ATF hike to prevent surge in domestic airfares, shields flyers

Govt caps ATF hike to prevent surge in domestic airfares, shields flyers

The government on Wednesday said that domestic airfares are unlikely to see a sharp rise as it has cushioned the impact of a steep surge in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices by allowing only a partial increase for domestic airlines.  According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), ATF prices in India deregulated since 2001 are revised monthly based on international benchmarks. Given the current geopolitical situation, ATF prices for domestic markets were expected to rise by more than 100 per cent from April 1. However, in a bid to shield domestic air travel costs from a steep spike, public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs), in consultation with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, have implemented only a partial and staggered increase. Domestic airlines will face a limited hike of around 25 per cent, translating to approximately Rs 15 per litre, instead of the full pass-through of global price increases, the government said. In contrast, airlines operating on international routes will bear the full increase in ATF prices, in line with global market-linked pricing. …

Pak Shuts Airspace After India’s ‘Using Civilian Flights As Shields’ Charge

New Delhi: Pakistan today shut down its airspace for all air traffic, hours after India accused it of using commercial flights as shields amid drone attacks. The decision, notified through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), came amid heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. The move follows a night of intense drone activity along India’s northern and western borders, after Pakistan launched a coordinated wave of drone attacks targeting military infrastructure across 26 locations, ranging from Leh in the north to Sir Creek in the south. Several of the targeted sites included key airfields, forward military bases, and civil aviation facilities. India successfully repelled each attack. India accused Pakistan of endangering international air traffic by keeping its airspace open while executing drone and missile operations. “Pakistan is using civil airliners as a shield, knowing fully well that its attack on India would elicit a swift air defence response. This is not safe for the unsuspecting civil airliners, including the international flights which were flying near the international border between India and Pakistan,” Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the …
