Yekaterinburg-based Koltsovo Airport is not facing any jet fuel supply problems at the moment, but existing supply difficulties might lead to some shortage, the airport’s press service informed Interfax.

We currently have enough jet fuel to keep us running for seven days,’ the press service representative explained.

He confirmed Rosaviation’s warnings that Koltsovo might be faced with jet fuel shortage just like its Moscow counterparts. Out of 14,000 tons of jet fuel needed in Koltsovo for this month, only 6,000 tons have been contracted, and the data on the delivery of the rest of the amount haven’t been confirmed yet.

The airport’s press service representative explained supply troubles were caused by the fact that most of the fuel from the oil bourses has been directed to provide for the Moscow-based airports.’ Still, Koltsovo will only face problems in September, no shortage is expected in the months to follow, he added.

Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office has already started monitoring the delivery of jet fuel to Moscow and Yekaterinburg airports.
