Similar Milestone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, TATA SIA Vistara (UK) Airlines<\/a> has increased its daily flight operations to 300 daily flights<\/strong> starting this month. Deepak Rajawat, the airline\u2019s Chief Commercial Officer, confirmed this development, noting that it marks a significant expansion in their operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to this, Vistara was operating approximately 270 flights per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajawat mentioned to FE<\/a><\/em> that Vistara has been experiencing consistent demand across its network during the July-September quarter. This period is typically considered a weaker season for domestic travel, making the airline\u2019s performance noteworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vistara has been experiencing consistent demand across its international network, particularly on its long-haul routes. Further, it has maintained steady traffic on domestic routes covering major cities and leisure destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Vistara operates flights to 32 domestic and 15 international destinations, utilizing a fleet of 61 aircraft. This fleet includes 46 Airbus <\/a>A320neo, 10 Airbus A321, and five Boeing <\/a>787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajawat mentioned that they recently received their fifth Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner<\/a>; two more are expected to be delivered in the coming months. These additions will enhance connectivity on long-haul routes and potentially introduce new destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further noted that Vistara allocates approximately 35% of its capacity to international routes and 65% within India<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline plans to increase its focus on international operations in the coming months, aiming to achieve a 40% share of international operations by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
