Mumbai: Kingfisher airlines topped the list for most number of cancellations in the month of August this year. According to data release by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), 7.4 percent of the cash-strapped airline were cancelled. It was followed by Jet airways, which cancelled 3.5 percent of the flight, followed by Jetlite which had 2.7 percent cancellations. Indigo airline has the least cancellations reported, with only 0.3 percent flights being cancelled.
The data released by the aviation regulator also showed that 50 percent of the flights were cancelled due to commercial reasons. "This means, that either it was not viable for the airline to operate the flight or some flights were clubbed with others due to low passenger loads," an official at Mumbai airport said. "Such cancellations indicate decreasing passenger loads to some sectors," he added.
