Domestic airfares are set to rise due to the high cost of jet fuel following the doubling of Value Added Tax (VAT) on petroleum products to 16 percent.
The cost of jet fuel has hit a high of $1.18 (Sh166) per litre up from $1.1 (Sh154) per litre, with the middle class, who prefer air travel to the road, set to bear the brunt of price increases.
