New Delhi, June 11 (ANI): Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel will meet Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh here today to find ways to give relief to airlines that are seeing losses growing due to high jet fuel prices.

Patel is likely to make a presentation to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister P Chidambaram about the difficulties being faced by the aviation industry.
