On official level, a senior Vistara official told IANS: “We have announced Dubai in the Middle East as our second international destination. We will soon add more international destinations within the range of our existing fleet. We will further expand on medium and long-haul routes as and when we receive suitable aircraft from the order we placed last year.”

In the domestic sector, the airline plans to add more destinations and multiply frequency on existing routes. “The start of our international operations and our partnerships with airlines across the globe also gives us more flexibility to feed traffic on to our domestic network,” the official said. “In June 2019, we expanded our network significantly with the addition of more than 60 new flights to and from Mumbai and Delhi, increasing the size of Vistara’s domestic network by over 50 per cent.”
