Delayed at Changchun Airport

January 29th, 2011   Filed under Photography, Work

Fortunetely I don’t have much work to do tonight nor do I have a transfer flight to catch.

I found the probability of delay of China Eastern Airline are quite high. However, it managed to top the punctuality rank of domestic airlines. Do you know why the rank is so different from consumer experience? Because the measurement of whether a flight is punctual is by the time of the cabinet door closure instead of taking off. This clever company achieves high punctuality by close the cabinet door timely but would keep passengers waiting inboard for long time before taking off. When I asked the working stuff of the status of my flight. She told me that the plane closed cabinet door at 15:00 but was still in Shanghai waiting to take off. It’s already 17:30 when I asked the question. You can calculate how long the passengers had been waiting inboard.

Punctuality Rank of China Domestic Airlines 2010
  1. China Eastern Airline        79.0%
  2. Xiamen Airline                     78.6%
  3. Shandong Airline                76.8%
  4. China Southern Airline     76.8%
  5. Shanghai Airline                  75.2%
  6. China Airline                         73.8%
  7. Hainan Airline                      73.1%
  8. Shenzhen Airline                 71.3%
  9. Sichuan Airline                     68.6%
