Unable to pay for fuel Air India grounds 60 flights

Mumbai: Losses are taking a huge toll over the national carrier Air India. After a major strike over pay parity with its pilots Air India has been forced to ground 10% of its fleet to tide over the fuel companies dues. 60 Air India flights have been withdrawn both from domestic and international routes many connecting extremely busy airports like London Delhi Mumbai and Bangalore. This comes right in the middle of the peak travel season. Air India has been unable to clear fuel companies dues of Rs. 2700 crore. So last week the oil companies refused it additional credit. Now the airline is forced to fly only on a pay-and-fly basis since it does have the money to fly its entire fleet every week.
