Budget carrier SpiceJet reported the highest passenger load factor of 93.2 per cent among domestic carriers in June, according to the latest data from aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation or DGCA. IndiGo came second with a load factor of 86.6 per cent in June.
Passenger load factor measures the capacity utilisation of airlines or how many seats were filled as compared to the total capacity. This is the second consecutive month SpiceJet has reported a load factor of more than 90 per cent. In May SpiceJet too topped the charts with a load factor of 93.1 per cent.
Commenting on the high load factor, SpiceJet chief operating officer Sanjiv Kapoor says that it means "almost 9 out of 10 flights are 100 per cent full because to achieve 93 per cent (load factor) means there are few flights in the bay that are not going full. Those may be very early morning or late night flights. A vast majority have not one empty seats in them."
