Gulf airfares set to skyrocket amid fuel spike, flight cuts

New Delhi, May 02: Airfares to the UAE and wider Gulf are set to see sharp rise due to increase in fuel costs and reduction of operations in view of the security situation in the region. Travellers could also face reduced flight frequencies of Indian carriers, aviation sources said. India has held jet fuel prices steady for domestic flights while sharply increasing rates for international operations. Airfares to the Gulf have surged significantly due to regional conflicts, rising jet fuel costs, and increased war-risk insurance premiums for airlines. Tickets from India to the Gulf, which typically range from 10,00015,000, have soared to 50,000 or more in some cases. This sharp increase is driven by airspace restrictions, flight rerouting, and high demand, making travel to the region much more expensive. The aviation sector is already feeling the heat. Airlines are also being forced to reroute flights to avoid conflict zones in West Asia. This means longer flying times, higher fuel consumption, and reduced aircraft utilisation, resulting in fewer flights on some routes and higher operational costs, both of which push fares up further. The move comes as airlines worldwide face a jet fuel crunch driven by the Middle East conflict and supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising to about $111 a barrel on up sharply from around $65 before the conflict escalated amid stalled efforts to resolve the war. India will reduce its international flight operations through June and July as rising Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices and ongoing airspace restrictions have made several long-haul routes financially unviable. According to an internal communication, the airline has already trimmed services in April and May and will further scale back schedules in the coming months. The decision comes amid heavy losses and increasing operational costs driven by higher fuel prices, longer rerouted flight paths, and geopolitical airspace constraints affecting efficiency.

'He Can Take Any Bowler At Any Time': Rayudu Praises Rahul's Mindset After DC Win

Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has heaped praise on Delhi Capitals (DC) opener KL Rahul, praising his mindset to take on any bowlers at any time of the game after he played a match-winning knock of 75 runs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday. Rayudu said that Rahul always had the ability to change gears at any time, but now he is showing greater confidence and intent in his game. He has always had the game. He can take on any bowler at any time; it is just his mindset. Today we have seen a very, very good approach to his batting, Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo Former CSK player was also in awe of some shots that Rahul played against Ravi Bishnoi during the chase. He went through a couple of shots against Bishnoi because he was sure that Bishnoi had the pace, and he could just stand in the crease and still go through with the shot. That shot was still not on, a slightly good-length or short-of-a-length ball, which he hit straight for six. That shows that the wicket was good, and also KL's confidence in his batting and a change in the way he generally bats, he said. According to Rayudu, Rahul's willingness to take on deliveries he would earlier defend is the key reason behind the increase in his strike rate in the shortest format. These are the balls that he generally does not take in, and it is a great sign that he is taking on these lengths and deliveries against spin. That is why we are seeing him play such higher strike-rates in this tournament compared to a few other seasons, he added. Rahul has been in splendid form in the ongoing season. He has scored 433 runs in just 9 innings and currently also holds the orange cap. He has hammered a century and three half century in the IPL 2026. Speaking of the match, Rajasthan Royals scored 225/6 with Riyan Parag scoring 90 off 50 and Donovan Ferreira remaining unbeaten on 47 off 14 before Mitchell Starc (3/40) brought it back with some crucial strikes.

IPL 2026: Starcs Brought Some Firepower With Him, Says Ian Bishop On DC Quicks Comeback

Former West Indies: Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop lauded Mitchell Starcs impact on his return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, saying the Australian quick added much-needed firepower to the Delhi Capitals bowling attack in their win over Rajasthan Royals. Starc, who joined the squad after recovering from shoulder and elbow injuries that kept him out for a long time, made an immediate impression with figures of 3/40 in his four overs. His spell proved crucial in restricting Rajasthan Royals to 225/6, a total that Delhi eventually chased down with seven wickets in hand. Bishop admitted he had initial doubts about how the left-arm quick would fare after a lengthy layoff, but was impressed by the intensity he brought to the field. I had a question in my own mind: what sort of form will he come into this after that protracted break that he had. But he's brought some firepower with him. It was pleasing. The last over went for a few runs, otherwise the figures would have been a lot better, Bishop told ESPNcricinfo. Starcs outing began on a tough note when he was struck for a six by Yashasvi Jaiswal off the very first ball of the innings. However, he responded quickly, dismissing the opener just two deliveries later with a sharp comeback. Despite conceding runs early, with 16 coming off his first two overs, the pacer maintained his pace and rhythm. He returned at a critical juncture in the death overs and turned the game in Delhis favour. In the 17th over, Starc removed Ravindra Jadeja before dismissing a well-set Riyan Parag, who had threatened to take the game away with a blistering 90. Although his final over went for runs, his breakthroughs halted Rajasthans momentum at a decisive stage. Bishop emphasised the importance of Starcs presence in Delhis bowling unit, particularly in combination with fellow overseas pacer Lungi Ngidi, as the team looks to build balance going forward. He returned at a critical juncture in the death overs and turned the game in Delhis favour. In the 17th over, Starc removed Ravindra Jadeja before dismissing a well-set Riyan Parag, who had threatened to take the game away with a blistering 90.

IPL 2026: Nice To Get Some Miles On The Legs, Says Starc After Long-awaited Comeback

Big Bash League: Mitchell Starc expressed relief and satisfaction after marking his return with a win, as Delhi Capitals registered a seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in Match 43 of IPL 2026 on Friday. The left-arm pacer, who missed the first half of the season due to a shoulder and elbow injury sustained during a Big Bash League game for Sydney Sixers, made an immediate impact on his comeback. His timely strikes in the death overs helped restrict Rajasthan to 225/6, a total that was eventually chased down by DC, their highest successful run-chase in IPL history. Yeah, always great to start with a win. It's nice to be back, it's sort of been around the group for a week, about a week now, so yeah, nice to get some training in. Watched a couple of games from the sideline, but nice to be back out there with the team tonight and to get the win. Nice to change some momentum for us, Starc said in a video shared by IPL, reflecting on his return after a lengthy layoff Starc had undergone rehabilitation in February and faced some discomfort upon resuming bowling, which delayed his entry into the tournament. Having not bowled to a batter for nearly three months, the Australian admitted it took time to readjust to the pace of white-ball cricket. Yeah, it's the first time I've bowled to a batter in about three months the other night, so I mean, I've played long enough to kind of know what I need to do to get ready, so it probably took a while to get the speed of the game and haven't played white-ball cricket for a little while, so it's a bit quicker than test cricket, but yeah, nice to get some miles on the legs and obviously to get the win was the main one, he stated. Despite the rust, Starc played a crucial role with the ball, particularly by removing key batters including Riyan Parag and Ravindra Jadeja in quick succession, halting Rajasthans momentum in the latter stages after a strong middle-overs surge. Highlighting the importance of early breakthroughs against Rajasthan, he said, Yeah, we know that Rajasthan are a team that have had some big, I guess, opening wicket partnerships and both the openers have played really well for them for a number of games, so for us, I think any game powerplay wickets are key, but certainly against Rajasthan, if we get into that middle order in the power play, certainly means we're sort of pushing the game on our terms a little bit more than them, so to get two early ones tonight was a big help. Obviously, a few partnerships through the middle, but yeah, I think our batters chased it almost to perfection. Delhis chase of 226 was anchored by half-centuries from KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka, with contributions from Nitish Rana ensuring the side maintained control of the required rate throughout. Starc praised the batting unit for executing what he termed a near-perfect chase. I think seeing some of the, you know, the Hyderabad game here the other night, where it was quite easy to chase, it was a, I think, a 220-odd run total there as well, obviously that opening partnership in the top order for us was going to be key and to get to have an opening partnership like we did was fantastic and then the guys that came in throughout the innings just picked up where the last man left off, so yeah, pretty clinical, I think, from the bat with us today. Near on perfect chase, I think, and to do it with an over the spare is pretty good, the Aussie pacer noted.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Pathum Nissanka will take a lot of confidence from his match-winning knock of 62 runs against Rajasthan Royals(RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday. Nissanka, who got dropped from the last match due to poor performance in the opening matches, came back strongly and provided a strong start to DC while chasing a mammoth total of 226 runs. Pathum Nissanka will take a lot of confidence from this 62-run knock. Earlier in the tournament, he was getting starts but failing to convert them. When you have an international opener in your side, you expect him to play big innings. This match against Rajasthan was the perfect time for Nissanka to deliver. He dominated Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, who have been a lethal new-ball pair for Rajasthan this season, he told Jio Hotstar. They usually put opposition batters under pressure early on. But Delhi's openers didn't let that happen. They put up a strong total in the power play, which set the tone for the chase. That opening partnership was the key reason why Delhi successfully chased down the target, he added. Kaif also heaped praise on Nitish Rana, who played a brilliant knock of 33 runs off just 17 balls. The cricketer turned commentator also lauded the DC's management for sending Rana, who has a good record against spinners, at a time when Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Bishnoi were yet to bowl their overs. Delhi's batters showed great skill against spin in this game, especially Nitish Rana. He walked in and took on Ravindra Jadeja, hitting sixes with ease. He attacked from the very first ball and made full use of his good form. Rana has been doing this for years. His 91 against the Punjab Kings was outstanding, even though Delhi lost.
