Fuel supply ban due to fund issues, not performance: Lohani
MUMBAI: The ban on jet fuel supply to Air India at six airports by oil marketing firms was on account of fund crunch and not due to the carrier’s operational performance, airline chief Ashwani Lohani has said.
Lohani in a Facebook post on Sunday also wrote that regardless of the situation the Maharaja must keep afloat.
Oil marketing companies led by Indian Oil CorporationNSE 0.92 % (IOC) last week stopped supplying fuel to Air India’s aircraft at Kochi, Pune, Patna, Ranchi, Vizag and Mohali airports over payment defaults, amid their combined dues mounting to Rs 5,000 crore.
