OMCs warn Air India of stopping fuel supply at 2 more airports over unpaid bills

Live Mint  

Mumbai: Air India's flight services, including those for Haj, are likely to be hit partially following the threat by IOC-led oil marketing companies to suspend fuel supplies at two more airports — Hyderabad and Raipur — over non-payment of dues. State-owned oil marketing firms have already stopped supplying fuel to Air India flights in Pune, Vizag, Cochin, Patna, Ranchi and Mohali since 22 August. Though Air India is on cash-and-carry mode since April this year, and has been paying ₹18 crore per day towards daily jet fuel bills, the OMCs have sought clearance of all dues at the earliest. "The OMCs have asked Air India to make a lump sum payment towards outstanding amount, including interest at the earliest, saying if the carrier fails to do so, they will extend the suspension of fuel supplies to Hyderabad and Raipur airports as well from 6 September," a source privy to the development said. Also, since 1 April this year, Air India is making a payment of ₹18 crore per day for daily fuel intake."
