Airline companies uses ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) to fuel its flights. It is a derivate of Crude Oil. As ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) constitutes major portion (i.e. 37%) of Total Cost of Airline Companies, a drastic drop in International Crude Oil prices aided Jet Airways. Brent Crude oil has fallen from its all-time high of $110.80 per barrel to its all-time low of $ 37.28 per barrel in 2015 helping cash strapped airline turn profitable in FY-2015-2016 for first time since 2010.
