With airline traffic picking up, on-time performance of airlines is back in focus.
In the last nine months, AirAsia logged an average best on-time performance (OTP) with 91.8 per cent of its flights arriving and departing from the four key airports—Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai—on time in August, according to data from aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
On-time performance is defined as an aircraft arrival at the gate under 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time.
In the month of September, Vistara had the best on-time performance with a score of 91 per cent, followed by AirAsia at 89.8 per cent. AirAsia had topped the ranking for five consecutive months from April 2022 to August 2022.
