“[We exceeded the 2018 Eid Homecoming] realization that only scored 65-70 percent [OTP],” said Joseph today.
Reports concluded that Sriwijaya’s improved performance started after it partnered with flag carrier Garuda Indonesia Group on operations .
Joseph added the peak season of the 2019 Eid Homecoming happened seven days before and after the Eid Day. Throughout May 2019, Sriwijaya Air’s OTP recorded a staggering 91 percent.
