Delays with Aeroflot?

I was in India some months ago and experienced "constant" cancelations with the Aeroflot night flight from Delhi. Anyone know if this is still an issue or if Aeroflot now is on time?

Is it possible to find any statistics on delayed flights from Delhi?

thanks!

it is better not to fly with dubious airlines whose wings risk breaking apart midflight! As a matter of record very reasonable fares are available from London to delhi via Moscow!

Aeroflot, what a wonderfully appropriate name. My sis in law flew them & had great stories to tell..

I don't know guys. I think whatever bad rap Aeroflot had back in the days (when it already seemed largely based on huh-huh those Russki planes can't be any good) certainly doesn't hold up any longer.

I wonder really what their safety record today is as compared to some others; I certainly don't hear about their planes falling out of the sky all the time.

I suppose those looking for top-notch service might opt for something different, but then their segment of Western travelers at least would traditionally consist of mostly budget travelers anyway (and perhaps some flying around locally small-business-wise).

As for cancellations, I don't know how many months ago the OP is speaking about, but in winter of course fog up north can cause massive interference. I don't see how one company would be targeted more than the other by particular everyday hassles as such. Yes, traffic of no matter what nature in India is notorious for stuff you might want to complain about anyway. As for the question at hand,

No, I know no such data, which doesn't mean they don't exist.
