Vistara (UK) CEO Vinod Kannan met with the airline’s pilots on Wednesday to ensure that operations would return to normal by the weekend.
Vistara Airlines (UK), the domestic carrier owned by the Tata group, announced on April 1 that it will temporarily reduce its flight operations to “maintain sufficient connectivity across its network” due to issues related to “crew unavailability.”
The inaugural flight, designated as UK 524, departed from Thiruvananthapuram at 05:55 AM and landed in Bengaluru at 07:15 AM. Following this, it will leave Bengaluru at 10:40 PM, arriving at Thiruvananthapuram Airport at 11:40 PM.
Starting September 2, 2023, TATA SIA Joint Ventured Vistara (UK) will introduce two additional flights connecting Dhaka (DAC) to Delhi (DEL).
