Russian oil producer Gazprom Neft’s aviation-fuel business operator Gazpromneft-Aero will increase its average monthly refuelling volumes in India by more than 40% to 1,200t every month, between July 2016 and 2017.

The increase will be due to new long-term agreements with Russian airlines Aeroflot and Volga-Dnepr for ‘into the wing’ refuelling in the country’s major tourist and business centres, such as Hyderabad, Goa, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Calicut, Trivandrum and Varanasi.
