Five national airlines have good on-time performance scores, above 85 percent throughout 2017, one even scoring over 90 percent.

The OTP numbers are considered high and have fulfilled the previously planned minimum target that was agreed upon. Garuda, which previously held the first position with the highest OTP, had to move to number five spot due to a disturbance in crew scheduling a while ago.
The Transportation Ministry’s directorate general of civil aviation, Agus Santoso, said this reflects the rising quality of airlines for their passengers. This can raise the passengers’ trust level toward the airlines, thus making a positive impact to the aviation business.

“Punctuality is an important form of service to passengers, because they buy flight time aside from buying the route. Boarding on-time flights means the passengers can also go on-time with their schedules,” said Agus.
Throughout 2017, there were 828,608 domestic flights recorded by the directorate general of civil aviation. The number indicates an 8.5 percent increase from 763.522 flights in 2016.
Meanwhile, the OTP in 2017 reached 80.14 percent or 664,024 on-time flights out of the 828,609 total flights. There was a 2.5 percent decrease from 2016 where the OTP reached 82.67 percent or 631,216 on-time flights from a total of 763,522 flights.
