“We’ve been trying to build Christmas in July – and nobody has shown up – and Amazon has succeeded,” he told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on Monday.

Storch said he gives Amazon a “lot of credit” because “July is a retail desert” and now “all the other retailers” have to play too.

“It’s a big deal,” he said.

Storch also believes that the e-commerce giant can rake in $6 billion in sales within the next two days during its Prime Day sales event. Despite a minor tech glitch that temporarily kept shoppers from making any purchases last year during Prime Day, Amazon still reported a record $3.5 billion in sales.

“[To] put it in perspective – that’s about what J.C. Penney does in a half a year – in just two days. That’s about what Nordstrom does in three or four months – in just two days.”

IOC threatens to cut fuel supply to Air India

State-owned Air India’s flights services are likely to be hit partially as public sector oil marketing firm Indian Oil Corporation has threatened to cut fuel supply at some of the airports from Tuesday evening on non-payment of bills, according to a source.

The disinvestment-bound carrier, which is incurring Rs 15 crore loss per day, has huge dues towards oil companies and Airports Authority of India, among others.

“Indian Oil Corporation has threatened to stop fuel supply at certain airports such Patna, Pune, Chandigarh, Cochin, Visakhapatnam and Ranchi for non payment of dues from 4 pm Tuesday,” the source said.

In the eventuality of the oil firm implementing its notice to Air India, there will not be fuel available to flights operating out of these airports and may impact operations as well, the source added.

In view of the IoC notice, the airline has asked its flight crew and dispatchers that they ‘must carry fuel for next sector or alternative re-routing to be planned to maximise the payload, until situation is normalised’, as per the source.

The national carrier is reportedly expected to post its highest-ever loss of over Rs 7,600 crore in the previous fiscal on account of low fleet utilisation and high fuel prices, among others.
