IOC plans nationwide low-cost aviation fuel station network

Indian Oil Corporation, has taken on the mantle to give a concrete shape to the government’s plans of developing 200 low-cost airports in the next 20 years to connect tier-II and tier-III cities. 

The development of new airports in smaller cities and towns is part of the government’s efforts to encourage air travel in the country. IndianOil, with its half century experience as the country’s leading aviation fuel suppliers has taken the lead to devise a viable indigenous business model to ensure cost effective refuelling facilities at these airports. A special business model has been created in view of the fact that while setting up of low-cost airports in these cities ranks high on the government’s agenda, constructing full-fledged aviation fuelling facilities at small city airports might not be economically viable. IndianOil is ensuring that while the low-cost model will be put in place, there will be no compromise on safety and quality and that the refuelling facilities will meet its stringent statutory as well as quality control norms.
