Think-tank group in the aviation sector, Aviation Safety Round Table Initiative (ASRTI), has flayed local airlines for incessant flight delays, and abysmal treatment of customers.

The group of aviation professionals said it was unacceptable of the regulatory authority continues to have a passing interest in poor schedule reliability of the carriers.

The implication has more dissatisfied customers at airports, and huge loss of revenue despite more people relying on air travel in 2022, and paying between 100 to 200 per cent more for airfares. “They don’t have enough fleets or the fleets are frequently breaking down. When they break down, you cannot operate a flight that is not safe. So, you will continue to delay departure. How can you delay a flight for five hours? Maximum delay you can have should not be more than two hours,” he said.

However, 11 domestic airlines operated 80,328 flights out of which 47,144 were delayed and 795 flights cancelled. A total of 26 airlines operated 13,003 international flights with 4,628 of the flights delayed in 82 cancellations.
