After a sluggish start to the year, the month of March has brought a notable upturn in airlines' on-time performance (OTP) reports. Major airlines have shown remarkable improvement, with some achieving impressive OTP percentages. According to data published by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), Akasa Air has emerged as the top performer in OTP, with 91 per cent rate.
