New Delhi: State-owned oil firms on Wednesday stopped jet fuel supplies to cash-strapped Air India for non-payment of dues but resumed it immediately thereafter, as officials of the civil aviation and petroleum ministries put their heads together to resolve the issue.
Flight operations of the ailing national carrier were not affected as the oil companies stopped supplies from 1600 hours at some stations including major ones like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, but resumed within an hour.
"Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum have from 1600 hours stopped aviation turbine fuel (or jet fuel) supplies to AI," a senior industry official said.
Soon thereafter, another official said the matter has been resolved and jet fuel supplies restored after hectic parleys between officials of the two ministries and Air India.
