The Airline Is Expanding Their Fleet
On December 15, it began a new flight from Mumbai to Doha, using an Airbus A321neo. Vistara uses Dreamliners for long-haul European destinations and A321s for several medium-haul international routes.
It has started operating many foreign routes recently, including Delhi-Hong Kong, Delhi-Bali, and Frankfurt-Mumbai. It also accomplished the significant feat of running 300 flights each day in September.
Vistara is still improving its fleet and running as an independent business despite though it will soon combine with Air India in less than a year. With the recent arrival of its 50th Airbus A320neo, the carrier currently carries 66 aircraft in total: 10 Airbus A321, 6 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, and 50 Airbus A320neo.
With more flights, the increased Dreamliner capacity has also assisted in the company’s expansion throughout Europe. According to Vinod Kannan, CEO of Vistara, the airline’s new aircraft would mostly be utilised to expand its foreign route network in the upcoming months.
In an effort to maintain its competitiveness in the global market, Vistara also revealed recently that it will provide free WiFi to all Club Vistara Members flying on its Boeing 787 and Airbus A321 aircraft abroad.
