OMCs stop fuel supply to Air India at six airports over non-payment of dues
New Delhi: Cash strapped Air India Ltd. stares at a turbulent future as oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Thursday stopped fuel supplies at six tier two airports — Cochin, Pune, Patna, Ranchi, Mohali, and Visakhapatnam — due to non payment of dues.
According to a source, OMCs decided to restrict fuel supplies to the national carrier after the airline failed to clear its dues, even after repeated reminders during the last couple of weeks.
OMCs often extend a credit period of 90 days to its customers. However, Air India’s credit had run over 200 days, the person said requesting anonymity.
