జెట్ ఎయిర్వేస్లానే.. ప్రభుత్వ రంగ విమానయాన సంస్థ ఎయిర్ ఇండియా ఆర్థిక సంక్షోభం ముదురుతోంది. కొన్ని రోజులుగా బాకాయిలు చెల్లించలేదని చమురు సంస్థలు ఎయిర్ ఇండియా విమానాలకు ఇంధన సరఫరా నిలిపేయడమే ఇందుకు ఉదాహరణ.

ప్రభుత్వ రంగ చమురు సంస్థలు ఎయిర్ ఇండియాకు షాక్ ఇచ్చాయి. బాకాయిలు చెల్లించని కారణంగా విమానాలకు ఇంధన సరఫరా నిలిపేశాయి.

దేశవ్యాప్తంగా ఆరు విమానాశ్రయాలకు(విశాఖపట్టణం, కొచ్చిన్, మోహాలీ, రాంచీ, పుణే, పట్నా) ఇంధన సరఫరా ఆపేసినట్లు చమురు సంస్థల సీనియర్ అధికారి ఒకరు తెలిపారు. ఎయిర్ ఇండియాకు 'ఎటీఎఫ్' సరఫరా అపేసిన సంస్థల్లో ఇండియన్ ఆయిల్, భారత్ పెట్రోలియం, హిందుస్థాన్ పెట్రోలియం ఉన్నాయి.

గత ఏడు నెలల నుంచి ఆయా సంస్థలన్నింటికీ కలిపి మొత్తం రూ.4,500 కోట్ల బకాయిలు చెల్లించాల్సి ఉంది ఎయిర్ఇండియా.

ఈ మూడు సంస్థలు వారం క్రితమే ఎయిర్ఇండియాకు బకాయిలు చెల్లించమని నోటీసులు అందించాయి. గడువులోగా చెల్లించకపోతే చర్యలు తీసుకుంటామని హెచ్చరించాయి. అయినప్పటికీ బకాయిల చెల్లింపులో ఎయిర్ఇండియా విఫలమైంది. ఈ నేపథ్యంలో తాజా చర్యలకు ఉపక్రమించాయి చమురు సంస్థలు.

అధికారిక గణాంకాల ప్రకారం ఎయిర్ఇండియాకు మొత్తం రూ.58,000 కోట్లకు పైగా రుణభారం ఉంది.

1. Reporters outside White House speaking to Kudlow
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry Kudlow, Trump Economic Adviser:
"The president doesn't want the dollar to be lower. The president is very concerned that foreign countries have manipulated their currencies lower through various easy money practices that by the way don't engender economic growth. As we've learned. That's his issue. As you said yesterday, I think was yesterday, he's very proud of the dollar as a symbol and emblematic of the fact that the United States is the world's leading country and the only economic game in town. But. but. he would prefer, and I want to go back to the G-7 idea, if these other countries if our friends would adopt some of the pro-growth policies that we have adopted, their growth would improve markedly. And so with their currencies. And so we might have a more balanced currency picture in that event. And that's why it's very important that the formal G-7 meetings include this section on the economy, trade and currency. That's the key point."
3. Wide/zoom reporters
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry Kudlow, Trump Economic Adviser:
"We are still planning for the Chinese team to come over here in September. I don't want to name a date or anything. But we're waiting. So the deputies' call was constructive and this may lead to a meeting of the principles in Washington, DC."
5. Wide, Kudlow listens to question
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry Kudlow, Trump Economic Adviser:
"Folks are working, they're spending and they're saving. Which is terrific. And there's no end, to me there's no end in sight."
7. Wide, Kudlow speaking
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry Kudlow, Trump Economic Adviser:
"We have a very good trade deal in North America called USMCA. And it's a deal that would add a half to one percentage point additional GDP per year if we get it through the Congress this fall. And Speaker Pelosi has very good and very accommodating and she works well with Bob Lighthizer and I'm I'm kind of optimistic about that. But we have that and as you recall a couple of weeks ago we announced the beef deal with the EU and we're going to have more talks here and at the G7 on that point.
9. Wide, Kudlow
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry Kudlow, Trump Economic Adviser:
"What the President is trying to say is there's no near-term tax cuts or stimulus or fighting recession. We don't have that point of view. We think the economy's in sound shape. We're staying with our program on lower tax rates, deregulation, energy opening and lowering trade barriers. You know. It's funny. First couple of years of troubles administration we run a little less than 3 percent growth in the face of severe monetary tightening. It's a terrific achievement. And even at that 2.7 percent growth is way above what most folks here in town thought is possible and certainly better than the prior administration. We're not going to tamper with temporary tax cuts of any kind."

STORYLINE:
Larry Kudlow, U.S. President Donald Trump's top economic adviser, told reporters outside the White House on Thursday that the president is concerned that U.S. allies are manipulating their currencies instead of adopting pro-growth economic policies.
Kudlow said this is the reason the U.S. wants to have talks on the economy, trade and currency at the upcoming G-7 leaders summit in France.
Kudlow also said deputies involved in U.S.-China trade talks have had positive discussions, and he expects top Chinese officials to meet with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in September.
Kudlow added that the President believes the economy is strong, commenting "folks are working, they're spending and they're saving. Which is terrific." He said this is the reason the Trump administration is not seeking tax cuts at this time.
