Vistara to Begin Flying on International Routes by the End of the Year
Leslie Thng, CEO of Vistara Airlines, has planned to strengthen the airline’s networks and take it international by the end of 2018. According to the norms of the government, an airline needs to have a fleet of at least 20 aircraft before being eligible for overseas operations. Vistara, which began operations in January 2015, as of July 2018 had 21 Airbus A320 aircraft in operation and is now looking forward to taking the airline to new, progressive heights by going international. The airlines have placed an order of both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft with a view to enlarge its domestic networks and launch international flights within the next two years. Initially, only South-East Asian routes would be included as the airline goes global.
Leslie Thng remarked “We hope to fly internationally by the second half of the year, by December 2018. We are in the process of seeking necessary permissions from relevant authorities. Our international operations will start off with short-haul international routes, within the capabilities of our A320 fleet.”
