Even as tensions in West Asia disrupt global oil supply chains, the Centre on Monday said India’s aviation sector remains insulated for now, with sufficient Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) stock to last the next 60 days.Responding to queries in the Rajya Sabha, Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu said there would be no immediate disruption in fuel availability, stressing that the country’s production and supply mechanisms remain stable despite the ongoing crisis.“We have adequate ATF supply in the country at present. Typically, nearly half of the production is used domestically, while the remaining is exported,” he said, adding that there is no anticipated stress on fuel production in the near term.The assurance comes amid concerns over escalating conflict in West Asia, which has historically impacted global crude prices and aviation fuel logistics.On aviation safety, the minister said the government had significantly tightened oversight, with a marked increase in airline audits. “Safety remains the top priority. We are conducting multiple rounds of audits and actively monitoring compliance,” he told the House.The ministry has ramped up inspections across carriers in recent months, particularly in the wake of safety concerns flagged after recent incidents.Addressing questions on emergency landings, Naidu said decisions were guided strictly by safety protocols. He noted that factors such as aircraft type, weather conditions and operational parameters determine whether a landing is classified as emergency or precautionary.In a written reply on post-crash safety checks, the minister said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had, in July 2025, directed airlines to inspect the locking mechanism of fuel control switches in Boeing aircraft.The directive followed a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.“All required inspections have been completed by operators, and the aircraft have been found fit for operations,” he said.
