Air India faces fuel supply cut, flights to get hit this week

India TV News  

Air India might end up cancelling several flights after September 6 as the state-owned fuel retailers have threatened to cut off supplies to the cash-strapped national carrier at Hyderabad and Raipur. Last week, state-owned oil marketing companies, led by IndianOil, had stopped fuel supply to Air India at six -- Ranchi, Mohali, Patna, Vizag, Pune and Cochin -- airports over non-payment of dues. The three OMCs in a letter to Air India said, "It's once again requested to make lump sum payments towards outstandings, including interest, at the earliest, failing which OMCs will be constrained to extend the suspension of supplies to Hyderabad and Raipur with effect from 2 p.m. of September 6."
