Air India recorded highest number of cancellations in May

Troubled Air India recorded the highest number of cancellations amongst all domestic carriers in May, official data revealed Monday.
Data released by the aviation regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), showed that the airline cancelled 3.2 per cent of all its domestic flights in May. The airline had cancelled 5.2 per cent of all its domestic flights in April 2012.
This has come as a surprise to many as the airline is not facing any labour problem in the domestic sector. However, the current pilots' strike faced by the carrier in its international operations is being blamed for the adverse impact on its performance in the domestic circuit in May.
Senior Air India officials declined to comment on the data.
Low-cost carriers IndiGo and Go Air had the least number of flight cancellations at 0.1 per cent and 0.5 per cent respectively.
