Vistara fortifying its domestic network while expanding globally

Hailed for its distinguished flying experience, Vistara continues to maintain the highest standards of hospitality with best-in-class offerings. Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer, Vistara believes that Vistara's achievements in the last eight years including being the youngest and the only Indian airline to be featured in the World's Top 20 Airlines by Skytrax, ranked 16th, and the goodwill amongst their customers keep them motivated to continue growing and setting new benchmarks in the aviation sector.

The aviation industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience, invigorated, and bouncing back faster than any other industry after the pandemic, with a strengthened resurgence in demand. In fact, some of the recent developments like the entry of new players, large aircraft orders placed by airlines, etc., pointedly bear evidence of colossal growth in the Indian civil aviation industry in the near to mid-term future. This augurs well for Vistara as it is well-poised for growth.

India is currently the third-largest and fastest-growing aviation market in the world. However, Vinod feels that the market is still largely under-penetrated. He says, “There is immense potential for airlines to grow in the domestic market by carefully planning their networks and building capacity and space accordingly. With reference to connectivity outside India, a significant part of the international traffic originating from India is currently being carried by foreign carriers. However, with increasing preference amongst customers for direct, non-stop flights, along with the government’s strong focus on developing India as a global aviation hub, the future possibilities of growth for all carriers in the Indian aviation market are unfathomable.”
