T
he government has recorded a better on-time performance (OTP) among domestic carriers during the Lebaran holiday this year, compared to their daily average OTP.
Data issued by the Transportation Ministry’s air transportation directorate general shows an average OTP of 78.12 percent in the June 7-24 period, compared to the daily average OTP of 74.88 percent.
Air transportation director general Agus Santoso said the improved OTP had resulted from better coordination among stakeholders in their efforts to provide the best air transportation service during the holiday season.
“The call to air transportation users to order tickets long before the holiday, the simplified aircraft rotation procedures and better display of flight schedules at airports worked well to improve the OTP,” said Agus.
Batik Air recorded the best OTP at 91.33 percent, followed by national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia (90.23 percent), Citilink Indonesia (86.4 percent), Indonesia AirAsia (85.46 percent), NAM Air (85.39 percent), TransNusa (82.95 percent), Indonesia AirAsia Extra (82.27 percent), Sriwijaya Air (76.28 percent), Travel Express (70 percent), Wings Air (69.76 percent), Lion Air (64.32 percent), Susi Air (50.18 percent) and Trigana Air (40.06 percent).
During the holiday period, Agus said, domestic airlines had transported 5.93 million passengers at 36 airports across the country.
Garuda Indonesia president director Pahala N Mansury said the airline had been consistently improving its OTP to improve its services for customers. “We attained [our] best [OTP] during the Lebaran holiday service,” he said in a press statement The Jakarta Post received on Tuesday. (bbn)
