Dhaka: The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has raised the price of Jet A-1 (jet fuel) for both domestic and international airlines, effective from midnight on 9 October.
As per the new circular, the cost of Jet A-1 fuel for domestic carriers has increased by Tk 3.02 per litre, bringing the price to Tk 99.29, up from Tk 96.09. For international airlines, the price per litre has risen by $0.0212, from $0.6333 to $0.6545.
The adjustment is based on the Platts Rate, with BERC citing the average rate from 5 September to 4 October, 2025, as the reason for the price hike.
With the hike in jet A-1 price, air ticket prices for both domestic and international-bound passengers might be dearer, market insiders said.
Noted that, previously, the BPC would fix the price unilaterally following the instruction from the Energy and Mineral Resources Division (EMRD) under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR).
The BPC usually imports around 600,000 tonnes of jet A-1 fuel annually to meet the demands of both domestic and international flights being operated by local and international airliners.
