DGCA notice on delays ticks off foreign airlines

New Delhi: In a first of its kind, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued notices ticking off some foreign airlines on the grounds that very few or none of their flights arrive or depart from India on time. More importantly, showcauses are being served to 22 international airlines for not submitting their on-time performance (OTP) figures. It is mandatory for all carriers, Indian and foreign, to file OTP figures every month.
Records for July show that the overall OTP of the 48 international carriers that give their figures was 69.5% for departures and 60.1% for arrivals, a sharp drop from previous months.
