background
ATF rises mark fourth consecutive monthly increase, adding to airline operating costs — ATF prices have increased on each of the past four months: ₹5 per litre in August, ₹6.28 in September, ₹16 in October, and ₹1.37 in November. Since jet fuel comprises approximately 40% of airlines' operating costs, these recurring increases compound carrier expenditure.
