The Pakistan government cut the jet fuel price by Rs111.44 per litre to Rs330.22 per litre, raising expectations of lower airfares for domestic and international passengers.
Aviation industry sources said the reduction could lower airline operating costs and may lead to cheaper tickets in the coming weeks.
Officials said airlines would benefit from lower fuel costs following the latest petroleum price revision.
Industry sources said jet fuel cost Rs188 per litre before the Middle East conflict. However, airline operators still consider the current rate high despite the latest cut.
The government had raised jet fuel prices by Rs53.11 per litre on May 9, 2026, taking the rate to Rs441.66 per litre at the time.
The latest fuel review also reduced petrol by Rs5 per litre. High-speed diesel also fell by Rs5 per litre to Rs409.58 per litre.
Officials said the government made the reductions under its fortnightly fuel price review mechanism, which tracks international oil prices and exchange rate movements.
