On-time performance is an important metric for airlines that measures schedule adherence. For AirAsia, OTP declined from 85.66% in 2013 to 78.08% in 2014, however passenger numbers continued to rise during this period. While improved OTP can reduce operational costs through efficiencies, other factors like competitive fares, marketing strategies, and route negotiations likely had a greater impact on passenger loyalty and growth for AirAsia. Underlying causes of delays still need to be addressed to minimize financial losses from poor on-time performance.

2. Introduction
• On time performance commonly referred to as “OTP” is a standard aviation
measurement to track the day-to-day performance of an airline.
• OTP is also a measurement of our ability not only to operate the planes safely
and on time but also to consolidate multiple customer's shipments, accurately
load, unload, connect, deconsolidate and deliver them through their extensive
flight network to customers on time.
• On-time performance refers to the level of success of the service remaining on
the published schedule.
• On time performance is measured as the number of flights operating on time
as a percentage of the number of flights operated on any particular sector.
3. MEASUREMENT OF OTP
Terms Explanation
On time departure
(D15)
A flight departure is counted as "on time" if it departs the gate within 15
minutes of the scheduled departure time shown in the carriers' schedule.
On time arrival
(A14)
A flight arrival is counted as "on time" if it arrived at the gate within 15
minutes of the scheduled arrival time shown in the carriers' schedule. Neither
diverted nor cancelled flights count as on time.
Cancellation A flight is regarded as a cancellation if it is cancelled or rescheduled less than
7 days prior to its scheduled departure time.
On time departure
percentage
The percentage of on time departures is measured against the number of
departures operated on any particular sector.
On time arrival
percentage
The percentage of on time arrivals is measured against the number of arrivals
operated on any particular sector.
Cancellation
percentage
The percentage of cancellations is measured against the number of services
scheduled on any particular sector.
4. Factors that effect OTP

28. The Impact of On-Time Performance for Air Asia
1. On-time performances are not directly giving impact to
the passenger loyalty and operational management
• The OTP are one of the minor causes for airlines to have better
services.
• Air Asia was recorded 78.08% on-time performance on 2014
(2013 – 85.66%) but their passenger are rising from 42.61
million passengers on 2013 to 49.5 million passengers on
2014.
29. The Impact of On-Time Performance for Air Asia
2. Operational Operations - all delays will cost from 0.6 to 2.5% of their
operating revenues.
• Improved on-time performance can help achieve significant cost savings to
operational cost
• Set up special teams or organizational units
• Research - there is a positive correlation between on time performance and
operating profit.
32. Summary
-In this case ,OTP doesn’t play an important roles in passengers preference of
airline choices .
-Due to certain factors that lead this thing to be happen :
Negotiation
Fares
Strategy
Marketing strategy
33. Conclusion
Underlying factors of OTP to decline must be investigated and addressed to
ensure the airline will not make more loses that is contributed by OTP. If matters
are not being paid attention to it will cause a significance loss to the airline in
term of revenue. Among the underlying factors of delays is aircraft delayed due
late arrival from a previous flight, weather, airport congestion, air traffic
clearance, engineering delay, passengers late show up limited buffer time
between aircraft arrival and departure time. the following suggestion should be
considered to improve the airlines (OTP).
