For the 10th fortnight in a row, state-owned oil firms raised jet fuel price by 3.4% in line with spike in crude oil prices. Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) rates in Delhi have been hiked by Rs 1,870 per kilolitre, or 3.4%, to Rs 54,933 per kl. The hike comes on back of two massive hikes affected on February 1 and 16.  This is the 10th straight increase in jet fuel prices since October 2010, when international crude oil prices started soaring. The ATF price in Delhi in October 1 was Rs 40,728.52 per kl. The rates were increased by Rs 14,204.48 per kl or 34.87% in 10 tranches since then, in tandem with surge in global oil prices. Fuel cost accounts for 40% of the airlines' operating cost.crackcrack
