Vistara is all set to expand its footprint in the Middle East with daily, non-stop flights between Mumbai and Muscat. Muscat is the third Gulf city that Vistara has added to its network in the last four months, with Abu Dhabi and Jeddah being the other two. Besides Vistara also operates daily on Mumbai-Dubai routes
Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer, Vistara, said: “The launch of operations to Muscat is in line with the airline's goal to steadily enhance its footprint in the Middle East. The firm bilateral relationship and robust cultural and economic ties between India and states in the Gulf region have given great impetus to our growth plans, and our successful business on the other Middle Eastern routes is a testament to that.”
The airline said there has been a consistent rise in passenger volumes and demand from the Gulf countries, paving way for the airline to bolster its presence in the region.
