HPCL Aviation wing commissions fuel station at Assam’s Rupsi Airport

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) Aviation wing has commissioned its aviation fuel station at Rupsi Airport in Assam’s Kokrajhar district.

Aircraft will now be able to fuel at Rupsi airport itself and this is a significant step which will lead to the development of the area, HPCL officials said.

Earlier flights coming to Rupsi had to refuel from Guwahati and Kolkata.

Rupsi airport has resumed flight services on May 8 this year, after a gap of 38 years, with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) re-developing the Rupsi airport under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Rupsi airport, located 18 km from here, presently operates flight services four days a week to Kolkata and Guwahati.
