Merpati Nusantara the Airline Most Likely to Cancel a Flight
(2/1/2012)
While the Ministry of Transportation has named Lion Air and Sriwijaya Air as the Indonesian airlines with the worst on-time performance, the Ministry has now designated the state-owned airline Merpati Nusantara as the carrier most likely to cancel a flight.
The statistics counting performance between January-November 2011 showed the following carriers, in order of appearance, as most likely to cancel a flight
- Merpati Nusantara 9.2% cancellation rat
- Sriwijaya Air 4.11% cancellation rate
- Lion Air 0.73% cancellation rate
- Garuda Indonesia 0.82% cancellation rate
- Batavia Air 0.54% cancellation rate
- AirAsia (Indonesia) 0.16% cancellation rate
He continued to explain that when there is not an alternative flight operated by a competing carrier, the Merpati passengers are moved to the same flight on a subsequent day.
Imam blamed the cancellations on technical operation issues and bad weather, with poor weather in eastern Indonesia causing many flights to be cancelled.
