Air India’s average daily on-time performance (OTP) in February, at 60.19 percent, was the lowest among the major airlines in India, according to the Ministry of Civil Aviation’s data reviewed by Business Standard. This is the second consecutive month when Air India has recorded the lowest punctuality rate.
According to industry sources, congestion at specific major airports, certain weather-related events, and operational issues led to the low OTPs in the last month. The OTPs of other major carriers—IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa Air, AIX Connect, and Vistara—were also low in February.
