Indian carrier Vistara confirmed that with the addition of 12 aircraft during the past 21 months, the airline’s fleet has now crossed 50 aircraft.
Vistara, which is a joint venture between Tata Group and south-east Asian carrier Singapore Airlines, has flown 30 million passengers since its launch on January 9, 2015 in both domestic and overseas markets, the airline said in a statement. Vistara began international flights in August 2019.
Vistara fleet comprises Airbus A320, A320neo, A321neo, Boeing 737 and B787 planes.
Vistara has also grown its global network to include seven new destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
According to the airline, it has registered a growth of 3.3 percentage points in market share, since July 2020, having grown from 4.2 per cent in July 2020 to 7.5 per cent in November 2021.
"Vistara entered the aviation market at a time when many in India believed that there was no place for another full-service airline, and yet, in a remarkably short span of time, it became 'India's best airline'. All of us at Vistara are truly grateful to our customers, partners and shareholders who have supported this dream of building a world-class airline that India can be proud of," said Vinod Kannan, Vistara's Chief Executive Officer, who took over the reins of the airline from Leslie Thng on January 1 this year.
