Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, is to increase fuel surcharge by Rs 150 on all flights less than 1,000 km, while for longer distance flights, passengers have to pay Rs 250 more as fuel surcharge. This levy will be imposed on all domestic flights operated by Jet Airways and JetKonnect, its low-cost arm.
The company took this decision due to recent 7.6% increase in the sale price of aviation turbine fuel. On most international flights out of India, a one-way fuel surcharge of $15 will be levied.
The company has reported a net profit of Rs 24.70 crore for first quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to a net loss of Rs 123.16 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. The total income from operation of the company has increased by 29.53% at Rs 4587.27 crore for Q1FY13 as compared Rs 3541.60 crore for the corresponding quarter previous year.
