Oil companies stop fuel supply to Air India at six airports

State-owned oil marketing companies on Thursday stopped Air India’s jet fuel uptake at six airports — Kochi, Pune, Patna, Ranchi, Vizag and Mohali — over payment defaults. Last month, Indian Oil had threatened to stop fuel supply to the airline but the matter was resolved following an intervention by the civil aviation ministry. Cash-strapped AI owes about Rs 3,000 crore to oil companies.
