DOMESTIC UNIT PRICES FOR AIRLINE JET FUEL
DOMESTIC UNIT PRICES FOR AIRLINE JET FUEL
Jet Fuel Prices by Type of Service (monthly data, not seasonally adjusted)
Jet fuel prices reported to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics differ from producer prices. Reports to BTS show the cost per gallon of fuel used by an airline during the month rather than the price charged by a producer on a single day. Fuel costs for scheduled airline services reflect contractual and storage advantages available to large buyers, while fuel costs for nonscheduled airline services reflect economic conditions for smaller buyers.

| For nonscheduled airlines | 1.13 | 0.85 |
