Vistara’s Expansion Plan in the European Market
With this new route, Vistara plans to expand further into the European market with a gradual increase in its widebody fleet going forward.
“Mumbai-London will be our fourth route to Europe after connecting Frankfurt, Paris and London with Delhi. This additional gateway also offers our customers more options and flexibility with their travel itineraries,” said Vinod Kannan, CEO at Vistara.
The airline has been in discussions with Tata Group-owned Air India to merge, which will increase its presence in the Indian aviation market.
Vistara has been working hard to expand its global network, and with the addition of the Mumbai-London route, the airline will be able to meet the growing demand for direct flights to the United Kingdom.
Expanding Fleet and Booking Details
Vistara also stated that it intends to expand its presence in Europe, particularly by adding more wide-body aircraft to its fleet in the coming months. In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the airline has taken several steps to ensure a safe and comfortable travel experience for its passengers.
Bookings for flights are gradually becoming available through all channels, including the airline’s website, mobile app, and travel agents.
Vistara hopes that by launching the Mumbai-London route, it will provide its customers with more options and flexibility in their travel plans, while also strengthening its position as a leading player in the Indian aviation market.
