SpiceJet, a prominent low-cost airline in India, faced a sharp decline in its on-time performance during the peak travel season in October, leaving passengers inconvenienced. This article delves into the specifics of the issue, exploring data, causes, and passenger experiences.

Punctuality Plunge A look at SpiceJet’s punctuality data over the past five days reveals a concerning trend. The airline’s punctuality rate oscillated between 50% and 60%, with a particularly low point on October 20, where it dropped to 40.2%. This resulted in a substantial 60% of flights experiencing delays.

Defining Flight Delays The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, India’s civil aviation regulator, considers a flight delayed if it takes off 15 minutes or more after its scheduled departure time.

Comparative Performance Contrasting SpiceJet’s performance with other airlines demonstrates a significant gap in punctuality rates. While SpiceJet struggled, airlines like IndiGo achieved a remarkable 97% punctuality rate on October 22. Akasa, Vistara, AirAsia India, and Air India also outperformed SpiceJet, recording rates of 98.5%, 95.1%, 93.1%, and 91%, respectively.

Causes of Punctuality Issues Operational and technical challenges, including evacuation flights and grounded aircraft, temporarily disrupted SpiceJet’s schedule. The airline’s on-time performance increased to 61.6% on October 22, with ongoing efforts to resolve these issues closely monitored by relevant authorities.

Peak Season Disruption The decline in SpiceJet’s operations coincided with the peak of India’s festive travel season in October, which included celebrations like Navratri, Durga Puja, and the long weekend leading up to Dussehra. This period saw daily air traffic average around 420,000 passengers, a drop from September when SpiceJet transported around 545,000 passengers at an average of over 18,000 per day.

Passenger Experiences Passengers voiced their concerns on social media platforms, detailing their experiences with SpiceJet’s punctuality issues. Some reported that their daytime flights turned into nighttime flights due to “operational” challenges cited by the airline. Complaints also centered around the lack of clarity from the airline regarding delays and cancellations.

SpiceJet’s Response SpiceJet attributed the delays to the return-to-service delay of two grounded planes they had been expecting. The airline is actively working to address these issues, seeking to improve its operations and punctuality.
