Jet Airways, Air Sahara and the Indian set to hike ticket prices

Air travel is going to get more expensive in the Indian market as Jet Airways, Air Sahara and the Indian have announced the imposition of a revised fuel surcharge of Rs 500 from July 7.

This would hike the prices of tickets on all the domestic routes for these three airline companies. The problem is the rising price of aviation fuel. These new hikes would be applied on business and economy class tickets on all domestic routes.

The hikes are applicable on all tickets purchased within and outside India. However, they have said that the tickets purchased on or before July 6 would be exempt from the increased prices.

Jet Airways added that its Jet Privilege redemption tickets would be exempted from the fuel surcharge.
