    Shares of aviation stocks continued to rally after a good run-up last week.  Both SpiceJet and Jet Airways were up 5-8.5 percent intraday on Monday. What is keeping shareholders happy is lower aviation turbine fuel price (ATF). Fuel price is slashed by a massive 9.5 percent, or Rs 4,860, to Rs 46,407/kiloLitre.

    With the latest price cut, jet fuel prices have fallen about 40 percent from a peak of around Rs 80,000 last year

    Low aircraft fuel expenses aided SpiceJet in posting a stellar April-June quarter. Its aircraft fuel expenses slipped 53.6 percent at Rs 359 crore in Q1 against Rs 773 crore year-on-year. EBITDA, during the quarter, was at Rs 100 crore against loss of Rs 72 crore (Y-o-Y).

    Collapse in crude price has helped airline companies as there has been a 21 percent fall in US crude prices from about USD 61 a barrel in mid-June.

    At 09:29 hrs SpiceJet was quoting at Rs 28.20, up Rs 0.95, or 3.49 percent while Jet Airways was quoting at Rs 427.35, up Rs 27.05, or 6.76 percent.
