The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has adjusted the price of Jet A-1 aviation fuel for domestic flights, fixing the new price at Tk159.52 per litre from Tk130.99 - an increase of nearly 23%.
For international flights, the price has been set at $1.0358 per litre, up from $0.8556.
The revised prices will come into effect from midnight on Sunday, according to a BERC order issued on Sunday.
The commission fixed the prices after reviewing the average published Platts rate for Jet A-1 during July 5 to Aug 4, 2026, the US dollar exchange rate used by Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) for letter of credit settlements and changes in diesel prices.
For domestic flights, the Jet A-1 price has been set at Tk159.52 per litre, inclusive of customs duties and VAT.
For international flights operated by both domestic and foreign airlines, the price has been fixed at $1.0358 per litre, excluding customs duties and VAT.
The decision was taken following a hearing held at the commission on Sunday on the relevant report.
BERC said it adjusted the Jet A-1 price after a detailed review of the relevant market and cost factors.
The revised rate will remain applicable for August 2026, unless subsequently adjusted by the commission.
