developed for Monthly Rankings of Pakistani and Foreign Airlines
on the basis of Regularity (least Cancellations) and Punctuality
(least Delays).The said monthly ranking of Airlines would be displayed in this section
for the information of consumers / passengers so that they could have an idea of
the relative customer service level of the competing Airlines on domestic and international
routes.
