New Delhi: Upping the ante on 'on-time performance', IndiGo today alleged some of its rivals might be manipulating the numbers as they follow a system, which is not in line with global practices, to record the data. The latest salvo from IndiGo chief Aditya Ghosh comes against the backdrop of the airline's On Time Performance (OTP) declining sharply in the last few months while rival SpiceJet has been topping the charts in this regard. Till recently, IndiGo had been harping on its top OTP ranking -- generated on the existing system -- to market itself and woo passengers amid stiff competition. "We suspect that the OTP reporting of some of our competitors is not quite correct. We have already submitted evidence to the DGCA that certain airlines are manipulating the OTP data and have asked for a detailed investigation," Ghosh said during an analysts call after announcing third quarter results.
OTP is one of the several measures to determine an airline's operational efficiency. It indicates whether an airline is operating its flights on time or not.
A Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) panel has started looking into the OTP monitoring mechanism of domestic carriers at four airports of Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The committee was set up after IndiGo complained about alleged irregularities in recording OTP data.
