For 15 consecutive months starting September 2018, India’s low-cost carrier Go First (formerly Go Air) topped the on-time performance (OTP) ranking beating heavyweights like IndiGo and Vistara.
However, with the grounding of nearly half of its fleet for lack of spare engines, the Wadia Group-promoted company has ranked last in OTP every month since September this year. This was followed by a market share erosion that was at its second worst level since 2015 barring the Covid-19 period of disruption of 2020.
AirAsia India with a fleet size of less than half compared to Go First has a better market share, according to data shared by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
