Petrobras announced this Monday (1st) a 14.2% reduction in the average selling price of aviation kerosene (QAV) to distributors starting in June, which represents a drop of R$ 0.93 per liter compared to the price practiced in the previous month. In a statement, the state-owned company explained that the cut in QAV prices, which occurs after successive increases since March, reflects the "attenuation of the scenario of rising international prices," caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Even with the cut, the fuel accumulates a 54.5% increase in 2026. Compared to December of last year, the average price of aviation kerosene is R$ 1.98 per liter more expensive. Price adjustments by Petrobras occur at the beginning of each month, as stipulated in contracts.
