Expanded Flight Operations
Notably, Tata-owned Vistara is currently in the process of significantly expanding its daily flight operations. Commencing this month, the airline has ramped up its daily flights to an impressive 300, representing a substantial growth in its service capacity.
Deepak Rajawat, Vistara’s Chief Commercial Officer, confirmed this development and expressed the significance of this expansion. Prior to this increase, Vistara was operating approximately 270 flights each day.
Consistent Demand
Rajawat cited consistent demand across the airline’s network during the July-September quarter, a period traditionally regarded as a weaker season for domestic travel. The sustained demand highlights Vistara’s notable performance in the face of challenging market conditions.
Additionally, Vistara has been consistently experiencing robust demand on its international routes, particularly its long-haul flights. Furthermore, its domestic routes connecting major cities and leisure destinations continue to attract a steady stream of travelers.
Vistara’s Impressive Fleet
At present, Vistara operates flights to 32 domestic and 15 international destinations. The airline manages this extensive network using a modern fleet comprising 46 Airbus A320neo, 10 Airbus A321, and five Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
