India's Jet Airways Ltd and unlisted Kingfisher Airlines said they were raising fuel surcharge for the seventh time in 12 months by 300 rupees ($7.6) per domestic ticket to offset higher jet fuel prices. Budget airlines SpiceJet Ltd, Deccan Aviation Ltd and Go Air would take a decision by Monday, officials at the airlines said.
The move would take the fuel surcharge on a ticket to 1,650 rupees and follows a more than 14 percent increase in aviation turbine fuel prices.
