Vistara to launch
flights on Delhi-Pune route on April 9, 2015
Full-service
carrier Vistara will expand its route network by
launching services to Pune from its Delhi hub,
stated a release. The booking for these flights
is now open. With the addition of Pune, Vistara
now operates flights to seven destinations in
India including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Goa,
Hyderabad and Guhawati and Bagdogra.
After thorough deliberations on the various
requests received from the airports, trade and
consumers alike, inviting Vistara to operate to
their cities, Pune has been added to our
network, the airline said in a press release.
Pune is a fast growing city of great promise and
potential which has recently been ranked higher
in the overall quality of life across categories
of political, economic and social environment as
well as housing and medical provisions, in
comparison to some of the key metros, making it
a next destination of choice to our existing
network, the release stated.
PheeTeik Yeoh, CEO, Vistara, said, "We received
a very enthusiastic response from customers when
we recently launched flights to Goa and
Hyderabad, clearly indicating such cities are
fast emerging as attractive destinations for
leisure and corporate travellers. Pune has some
of the well-developed conglomerates present and
is one of the major modern cities in India. For
Vistara, these places showcase immense potential
as their robust infrastructure and good quality
of life ultimately attracts more travel."
Vistara's A320 aircraft deployed on the route
has a capacity of 148 seats and are configured
with 16 Business Class seats, 36 Premium Economy
seats and 96 Economy seats, which is 20 per cent
less compared to many of the single aisle
aircraft operators in order to provide greater
comfort and personal space to its customers. By
the end of this calendar year, Vistara's total
fleet size will grow to nine aircraft enabling
an organic expansion plan in both metros and
non-metros.
