Pudong airport punished for poor punctuality
SHANGHAI’S Pudong International Airport has been punished for its poor punctuality rate.
China’s civil aviation regulator announced yesterday the airport would be unable to apply to operate any new or extra flights for the next two months.
The airport had consistently failed to meet the flight punctuality standard between March and September and had been banned from operating “new, extra or charter flights” since May 1, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
Beijing Capital International Airport, and airports in Xiamen and Nanjing have also received the same punishment for similar poor performances.
Hongqiao airport, however, was granted leave to apply to operate new, extra or charter flights from November 1 as its punctuality rates had met the standard set by the administration.
According to aviation regulations, airports with annual passenger volume of more than 30 million must maintain a punctuality rate of above 50 percent.
Pudong airport was rated the worst performer among the major airports, having a punctuality rate of just 38 percent in July and still below 50 percent since then.
Meanwhile, two China Eastern Airlines flights were canceled by the administration because of the poor punctuality rates, the administration said.
Flight MU5127 from Hongqiao to Beijing, and MU5629 from Pudong to Changchun in northeast Jilin Province were canceled from November 1 as punishments.
Sichuan Airlines, Tibet Airlines and Chongqing Airlines have also been reprimanded for poor performance.
