Vistara CEO on Pilot Crisis

Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan disclosed on Friday that despite a reduced schedule aimed at enhancing operational resilience and flexibility, the airline managed to operate 12%–15% more flights during the April–May period compared to the same period last year.

Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan emphasized on Saturday that “more than 98% of pilots” had agreed to update contracts featuring a revised pay system, which industry insiders highlighted as a significant factor contributing to recent flight disruptions and delays.
