AIRLINES BLAMED FOR TAKEOFF DELAYS AT IGI
New Delhi,India : IGI Airport's three functional runways and the modern Terminal 3 have not translated into timely flight departures due to airline inefficiency. Data for the first seven months of this year shows that carriers were responsible for more than 90% of all delayed domestic departures from IGI. Flights landing or taking off after 15 minutes of their schedule time are considered delayed.
A study commissioned by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and conducted by Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) from January to July, 2012 attributed domestic departure delays to five factors: airline, airport, weather, ATC and miscellaneous. However, 82.7% to 96.3% delays every month were attributed to airlines.
