Due to the rising prices of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), Star Air has reduced its weekly flights by 15 to 20 per cent. According to a report by The Economic Times, an airline official stated that this decision was taken due to the increase in fuel prices.
Geopolitical tensions are causing volatility in fuel prices, resulting in a continuous increase in the airline's operational costs. To cope with these rising costs, the company has had to reduce the number of its flights.
Star Air is now seeking a special fuel pricing strategy to support regional operators. According to an airline executive, regional carriers use only about 3 per cent of total ATF. Therefore, establishing a Price Stabilization Fund (PSF) with better terms to combat rising jet fuel prices could provide significant help.
The report mentioned that previously the government had arranged a Price Stabilization Fund for airlines, but the term of that fund has now expired. For this reason, regional airlines are currently facing economic pressure.
