In an unprecedented development last week, the government made the decision to raise the tax on aviation turbine fuel, commonly known as jet fuel, by a substantial 14%. This move was made in anticipation of a possible increase in airfares. Karishma Asoodani from BTTV spoke with airline representatives to delve into the potential consequences of this decision. A spokesperson from Indigo explained that the rise in airfares is primarily driven by the interplay of supply and demand in the market, rather than being solely influenced by a single factor affecting input costs.
