New Delhi: National passenger carrier Air India on Monday said that it disagrees with a report published by data services company FlightStats which has ranked the airline as the third worst global performer in terms of on-time operations in 2016.
"We totally disagree with the report published by FlightStats about AI," Air India's spokesperson Dhananjay Kumar was quoted as saying in a statement. "Initially it seems that the report is fabricated, so AI management will investigate the report till the end."
The development comes after an international media report cited that the data services company has ranked Air India as the third worst performer airline in terms of its on-time performance (OTP) in 2016.
"As a leader in flight data services FlightStats, part of FlightGlobal, is in a unique position to be able to provide an in-depth view into how airlines are performing globally," the data services company's website said. According to it, the FlightStats OPS Awards recognises airlines around the world that deliver the highest percentage of flights to their arrival gates within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time.
