Do not expect 'oil shock state': civil aviation secy

New Delhi:Amid airlines' concerns over rising oil prices, Civil Aviation Secretary R N Choubey said today that there was no cause for worry as the current situation was not likely to get into an "oil shock state".

Oil prices have been on the rise recently with Brent Crude trading at over USD 60 per barrel.

"As of now, there is no concern because we don't expect it to get into an oil shock state," Choubey told reporters at an event.

Expenditure on Aviation Turbine Fuel or ATF accounts for nearly 40 per cent of an airline's operations in India.

The domestic aviation sector has seen a double-digit growth in the past three years primarily spurred by low ATF prices.
