All 9 Documented Cases
अनियमित संचालन क्षतिपूर्ति बाध्यता (IROP Compensation Liability)
₹5,000–₹20,000 per disrupted passenger; estimated ₹50–₹200 crore annually for major Indian carriers (based on 100–500 daily disruptions × ₹10,000 avg compensation)DGCA rules mandate compensation for flight disruptions. Cancellations <24 hours = ₹5,000–₹10,000 per passenger. Overbooking with rebooking >1 hour = ₹10,000–₹20,000 per passenger. Airlines with high IROP rates face cumulative liability across thousands of passengers monthly.
नियामक अनुपालन दंड (DGCA Non-Compliance Penalties)
Estimated ₹10,000–₹50,000 per compliance violation (based on GST/DGCA penalty precedents); reputational churn (2–5% revenue loss) from social media escalation of unresolved complaintsDGCA Passenger Charter requires airlines to provide alternate flights within specific windows, meals, refreshments, and hotel accommodation per delay duration. Manual processing delays compliance, triggering violations. No explicit fine amounts published, but regulatory enforcement includes license suspension risk.
प्रोरेशन गणना में मैनुअल प्रयास (Manual Effort in Proration Calculations)
For Indian carriers: 10-20 FTE × ₹20-30 lakh average cost = ₹2-6 crores annually in labor cost. Opportunity cost of this capacity (foregone revenue optimization): additional 2-5% yield improvement unrealized = ₹50-200 crores in lost incremental revenue.Interline Revenue Accounting requires: SPA document management and renegotiation (40-60 hours per SPA), proration calculation rules maintenance (20 hours/month), coupon-level proration execution (5-10 hours/day for high-volume carriers), and simulation modeling for yield optimization. These tasks are repetitive, error-prone, and require specialized knowledge, tying up skilled staff who could focus on revenue optimization rather than manual processing.
लॉयल्टी प्रोग्राम को प्रतिद्वंद्वी कैरियर में हस्तांतरण (Loyalty Program Defection to Star Alliance Competitors)
Not quantified in source, but inferred: Indian aviation loyalty programs represent estimated ₹500–800 crore annual revenue pool (high-margin; ~40–60% contribution margin). A 10–20% customer defection rate = ₹50–160 crore annual revenue leakage.Search results indicate that many frequent flyers currently opt to credit their flights to other Star Alliance carriers rather than Air India, resulting in significant revenue loss for Air India. This represents both direct loyalty revenue leakage and indirect loss of cross-sell opportunities (ancillary services, co-branded credit card fees, hotel/car rental partnerships).
