Explanations

Bluedart domestic cargo fell sharply in 2012-FY

In the fiscal year 2012, Bluedart reported 29989 metric tonnes of domestic air cargo, which is a significant anomaly as there were no reported metric tonnes for domestic air cargo in the preceding five fiscal years. This sudden increase in metric tonnes is classified as a high severity anomaly and remains unexplained based on the provided data.

Go Air domestic cargo fell sharply in 2012-FY

In the fiscal year 2012, Go Air reported a domestic air-cargo tonnage of 24,485 metric tonnes (MT). This is notable because, in the preceding fiscal years 2007 to 2011, there were no reported domestic air-cargo movements. The sudden appearance of this significant tonnage in 2012 is unexplained based on the provided data.

Jetlite international cargo fell sharply in 2012-FY

In the 2012 fiscal year, Jetlite's international air cargo was observed at 91.3 metric tonnes, which is notably lower than the expected 558.0 metric tonnes. This represents a medium severity anomaly. The surrounding series shows a significant drop from 180.0 metric tonnes in the 2011 fiscal year to 90.9 metric tonnes in the 2012 fiscal year, followed by zero metric tonnes in the subsequent years. The cause of this movement is unexplained.

Indigo international cargo fell sharply in 2011-FY

In the fiscal year 2011, Indigo reported 1585.0 metric tonnes of international air cargo, which is unexpected as there were no reported metric tonnes in the preceding four fiscal years (2007-FY to 2010-FY). This anomaly is classified as high severity. The reason for this sudden movement is unexplained based on the provided data.

Nashik Airport total cargo fell sharply in 2023-12

In December 2023, Nashik Airport reported a total air-cargo movement of 115.0 metric tonnes (MT). This is notable because all preceding and following months in the provided data series recorded zero metric tonnes of air cargo. The sudden appearance of this movement is unexplained based on the available data.
