MT News Desk

The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has reduced the Jet A-1 (jet fuel) price by Tk .21.63 and $0.1421 per litre for domestic and international airlines, respectively.

According to the regulatory commission circular issued today (May 7), the price of Jet A-1 fuel was reduced by Tk .21.63 per litre to Tk. 205.45 from Tk .227.08.

Besides, the BERC also reduced the price for international airlines by $0.1421 per litre to $1.3385 from $1.4806, it said.

According to the notification, the new pricing would come into effect from midnight leading to May 8.

The BERC announced the price of jet fuel for the first time in May 2025 and said that the jet fuel price would be adjusted with the international market every month.

“If the price in the international market increases, it will be increased in Bangladesh, and if it decreases, it will be decreased in the local market. Earlier, Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) usually fixes the price from time to time,” according to a BERC official. 

The regulatory agency said considering the Platts rate from April 5 to May 4 on average, it reduced the jet fuel price for May 2026.
