Air India, Air India Express hike surcharges: How much more will UAE-India passengers pay?

## New Surcharge for UAE-India Flights

Starting March 12, passengers traveling between the UAE and India on Air India and Air India Express will face an additional $10 charge per ticket. This increase is due to rising aviation fuel costs linked to geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran.

## Impact on Travelers

The surcharge applies to new bookings from March 12, while existing bookings remain unaffected unless travel plans are altered. The surcharge is crucial for covering operational costs and preventing flight cancellations.

## Industry Reactions

Travel agents in the UAE anticipated this move, citing high operating costs and the ongoing energy crisis as key factors. The surcharge trend began post-COVID-19 and continues due to current geopolitical issues.

## Affected Regions

Air India Express, serving many Indian expatriates, particularly from Kerala, will see significant impacts. Despite the price hike, demand is expected to remain strong as travelers have limited alternatives.

## Broader Surcharge Rollout

The surcharge increase is part of a three-phase plan. From March 12, charges will rise on routes to Southeast Asia and Africa. Further increases for Europe, North America, and Australia will follow on March 18, with details for Far East markets to be announced later.
