Low-cost airlines on time in South

Chennai: Low-cost airlines seem to be on time in the southern skies. Key low-cost airline players such as SpiceJet and IndiGo have given their best on-time perfomance (OTP) in the South.
IndiGo recorded an on-time performance of 90.63%, the highest among all flights that were operated from Chennai in September. The on-time performance of SpiceJet stood at 90%, its best ever.
Significantly, Kalanithi Maran-promoted SpiceJet, which recently started its Madurai service, is focusing on southern expansion plans, primarily holding on its multiple frequency approach.
SpiceJet chief commercial officer Samyukth Sridharan said, “On-time performance has always been the key area which help the carrier to have maximum load factor. We have recorded 84% OTP in August and 90% in September despite infrastructure constraints.”
The Airport Authority of India, in association with Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has monitored the OTP of domestic carriers operating from Chennai from August 28- September 22, 2010.
