Industry Context

- Higher aviation turbine fuel prices pushing up airfares
The decline narrowed over the period from 23.0% in the first four months of FY27.

- Travel-related remittances of US$1,463.11 million in July 2026
- Travel-related remittances of US$1,630.26 million in August 2026
- These figures are broadly flat year-on-year (up 1.2% and 0.7% respectively)
- Composition changed significantly with education-related travel rising and holiday/other travel falling from US$853.11 million in June to US$713.80 million in August 2026
