Scheduled domestic airlines in India reported an overall cancellation rate of 0.65 per cent for the month of August 2023, affecting passengers across the country. Technical issues emerged as the most significant reason for the cancellation rates, accounting for 50.1 per cent of such disruptions. The data, released by DGCA, outlined the cancellation rate of various Indian airlines, but Tata Group-run AirAsia, Vistara, and Air India were the least-affected carriers by these reasons.
In addition to technical glitches, weather conditions posed another major challenge, contributing to 23.3 per cent of cancellations. Unpredictable monsoon rains and adverse weather patterns disrupted flight operations in various regions of the country.
AirAsia, Vistara, and Air India, all of which come under the Tata Sons, were the best performing airlines, with cancellation rates of 0.03 per cent, 0.1 per cent and 0.28 per cent, respectively. The group is currently working on merging its full-service carriers Air India and Vistara.
Meanwhile, budget airline IndiGo saw 0.59 per cent cancellations, while SpiceJet flights saw 0.55 per cent cancellation rate.
