The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has reduced the price of Jet A-1 fuel by Tk21.63 per litre for domestic airlines and $0.1421 per litre for international airlines.
According to a BERC circular issued on Thursday, the new price for domestic use has been set at Tk205.45 per litre, down from Tk227.08.
For international airlines, the price has been reduced to $1.3385 per litre from $1.4806.
The new rates will come into effect from midnight leading into 8 May.
BERC first announced jet fuel pricing in May 2025 and said prices would be adjusted every month in line with the international market.
A BERC official said that if global prices rise, domestic rates will increase, and if they fall, local prices will also come down. Earlier, the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation used to set prices periodically.
The regulator said the latest adjustment was made based on the average Platts rate from 5 April to 4 May for May 2026 pricing.
BERC also held a public hearing on the matter on Thursday under Sections 22 (Kha) and 34 of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission Act, 2003.
