If there is a jet fuel crisis in Bulgaria, the culprit will be obvious LUKOIL Aviation, whose responsibility it is to supply kerosene to the airports in Bulgaria, Bulgarias Economy and Energy Minister Traycho Traykov told bTV.
In his words, however, a jet fuel crisis is hardly likely to unfold in Bulgaria.
However, sources from LUKOIL Aviation said they were struggling to supply the necessary quantity of jet fuel from abroad, as their main supplier LUKOIL Nefotchim had had its license suspended by the Customs Agency.
The situation is further aggravated by the higher demand for kerosene in summer, compared to the rest of the year.
LUKOIL Aviation did not share Bulgarian governments optimism that the state reserve of jet fuel would fully compensate the shortage caused by the halted production.
Plovdiv Airport CEO Doychin Angelov expressed hope that the awkward situation with the suspended license of LUKOIL Neftochim would be resolved soon and that no flights would be cancelled because of shortage of fuel.
