71% of IndiGo flights operate on time a day after DGCA sought report over delays

A day after the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) sought a report from IndiGo over major flight delays, around 71.8% of its flights operated on time on Sunday as compared to 45.2% on Saturday.

While the on-time performance (OTP) of IndiGo improved by 32.9% on Sunday, it continued to have the lowest OTP for the day. GoFirst’s OTP was 97.09%, AirAsia India’s OTP was 95.6%, Vistara operated 93.3% flights on time followed by SpiceJet with 90.1% and Air India with 86.4% flights that flew on time.

IndiGo could not operate its flights on time as majority of its cabin crew had reported sick to apply for Air India’s walk- in interview on Saturday in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru where Tata Air India had conducted its second phase interview for cabin crew on Saturday.
