Air India reduces fuel surcharges on several long-haul routes to North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, with cuts of up to 39%. The airline says reductions can amount to about $80 on some routes, attributing the move to a recent decline in crude oil prices. This comes after earlier increases in costs when oil and jet fuel prices rose amid the West Asia conflict, along with operational pressures linked to curbs and limitations affecting flight operations. Separate reporting also notes that Air India Express, the airline’s low-cost arm, fully restores connectivity across its West Asia network, resuming services to Oman and Kuwait. Together, the reports describe a shift from earlier surcharge increases tied to higher fuel and operating costs toward lower surcharges as fuel prices ease, alongside restoration of regional routes impacted by the same broader disruptions. The airline’s adjustments apply to long-haul services covered by the fuel surcharge policy, reflecting changing fuel price conditions.
