NEW DELHI: In less than a year of taking over Air India, Tata Sons have made the Maharaja the most punctual domestic airline. In its government-owned days, cash-starved AI used to be at the bottom of the monthly on time performance (OTP) figures issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for several years.
DGCA data for domestic air traffic in October, 2022, shows three Tata airlines occupy the top OTP slots — AI (90.8%), and Vistara and AirAsia India (both 89.1%).
