(TAN): India-based Vistara airlines celebrated it’s seventh anniversary on January 9 and announced that it had flown 30 million passengers since inception.
Even as Vistara navigated the aviation industry’s worst-ever crisis, COVID-19, it continued to grow in a measured way towards its vision and long-term plans. The airline registered a growth of 3.3 percentage points in market share, since July 2020, having grown from 4.2% (in July 2020) to 7.5% (in November 2021). Vistara expanded its fleet by over 25% since April 2020, to have 51 aircraft in its fleet, and has significantly grown its global network to include seven new destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The airline also ensured that all 4000+ jobs at Vistara remained protected from the impact of the pandemic.

CEO Vinod Kannan said: “Our achievements are a testament to the trust that millions of passengers place in us on every flight, every day. Vistara entered the aviation market at a time when many in India believed that there was no place for another full-service airline, and yet, in a remarkably short span of time, it became ‘India’s best airline’.”
Over the last two years, the airline has also introduced multiple product and service enhancements, including but not limited to on board WiFi connectivity, Gate-to-Gate service, fully-flat beds in Airbus A321neo aircraft and Boeing Dreamliner 787, providing a premium and world-class flying experience to travellers.
