That’s some good news for #AirIndia :

Air India ranked 4th among the world’s most on-time global airlines in June 2026, according to #Cirium

The airline recorded an on-time arrival rate of 86.85%, placing it among the global top 5.

A strong marker of improving operational reliability.

🚨Barely 2 out 10 flights of SpiceJet took off on time

So naturally, it is impossible that the airline will be unable to maintain its schedule integrity #aviation

. @airindia widebody 👩‍✈️ puzzled

No laundry at foren hotels to save $

But "AI sending some 777, 787 🧑‍✈️ who are already DGCA✔️ trainers to SIN for sim evaluation by non DGCA-approved outside instructors

Boeing ppl observing trainers in 🇮🇳 for over yr

Y spend so much?" they ask

Hanooz Dilli Door Ast

दिल्ली अभी दूर है

Yesterday, I flew LKO-DXN ✈️ in 50 minutes

But DXN-AIIMS by 🚗 took @ 100 minutes in peak morning hour traffic

Looks like you found the perfect backdrop to reflect on an incredible journey, Lokesh anna! 😄

Quite fitting that PM @narendramodi Ji was in the frame too, given how closely this period of change and transformation is associated with his leadership. Aviation has been one of the most visible examples of that progress. Great to see the spirit of #YatriSuvidhaDiwas at Vijayawada Airport. Wishing all passengers happy journeys ahead.

. @NIAirport gets operational tomorrow

For pax: More @IndiGo6E, @AkasaAir ✈️ options

For business: More cargo

For NIA operator: @AirIndiaX pullout a setback

Unlike 2nd airports in🇮🇳 so far & soon 2 open Bhogapuram, it'll have 2 fight for pax, ✈️with existing hub-@DelhiAirport

[Saurabh Sinha @27saurabhsinha]

No ok tata at NIA anytime soon

A sight it will have to wait for....

[Saurabh Sinha @27saurabhsinha]

आसमान से गिरा, OTA में अटका🤷‍♂️

[Saurabh Sinha @27saurabhsinha]

Big Blue may be in the red for now but sees current headwinds not affecting its long term growth trajectory

@IndiGo6E projects FY28-30 CAGR in mid teens

🇮🇳 has pax numbers. With ✔️ policies, benign cost environment (right now is cost hostile) it can have strong desi carriers🤞

[Tarun Shukla @shukla_tarun]

New :

Group’s 20 years at @DelhiAirport

GMR Airports chairman GBS Raju:

“T2 can be used for max 6-7 years more

In talks with airlines to determine T3 Pier E timing

Due war, that taking som time

Once Pier E ready, T2 traffic to shift there”

T2 site future use to be decided later”

[Gautam Sahni @sahnigautam73]

@27saurabhsinha Isn’t it because of reduction in flight operations by Indian carriers due to fuel price they are loosing international market share and there is dip in indian vs international carriers loads

[Saurabh Sinha @27saurabhsinha]

And, Delhi Govt @gupta_rekha also cuts VAT on ATF from 25% to 7%!

Hopefully aviation sector ki ab thodi kam "vat" lagegi in these very tough times 🤞

[Tarun Shukla @shukla_tarun]

Airlines got jet fuel relief from @PetroleumMin but emergency-lifelines like air ambulances did not

Now this already expensive service may become out of bounds for middle class (even a loan may not help)

Here's why in my @EconomicTimes piece today:

BREAKING: Govt takes back mandate for airlines to give 60% seats free of extra charges

Major win for the industry #aviation

#IranWar‌

Airlines & passengers spend more

Routes get longer

Flight options shrink

Fuel burn spikes

Crew fatigued

No winners in this war

In today’s TOI:

[Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu @RamMNK]

Under the transformational leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India has established itself as the world’s third-largest domestic aviation market.

Supported by the UDAN scheme, air travel in India has evolved from being an elite privilege to an inclusive travel. Indian airports are now handling more than 5 lakh passengers every day.

It has been my constant endeavor to further enhance the ease of flying in the country through passenger-centric initiatives at airports like the UDAN Yatri Cafe offering affordable food, Flybrary providing free access to books and free Wi-Fi at the terminals.

To further strengthen passenger facilitation measures, we have issued important directions: 60% seats free of charge, assured seating together for families, and clear, transparent norms for carriage of sports equipment, musical instruments & pets. Stronger enforcement and visibility of passenger rights, including during delays and cancellations.
