NEWS | Fog hits on-time take-off by airlines

 The fog has brought down the on-time performance (OTP) of domestic airlines. According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the overall OTP for domestic flights was just 77.9% last December, down from over 80-90 % earlier . Beleaguered Kingfisher, which has cut flights to survive , topped the list with its truncated schedule flying at 87.3% on time last month.

Kingfisher was followed by Jet, GoAir and SpiceJet (in that order in December), with OTP of over 80%. JetLite (78.5%) and IndiGo (74.3%) were the two airlines with OTP in seventies. The lowest performer was Air India-domestic at 63.7%.
While foggy December threw up its surprises, the DGCA on Monday made public the list of airlines in terms of punctuality for 2011 as a whole. Jet topped this list at 91.1% and Kingfisher being the only other airline in 90s with its OTP at 90.7%. IndiGo, JetLite, Go and SpiceJet (in that order) reported OTP in eighties.
