Vistara to add 10 aircraft and 1,000 passengers this fiscal year; shelving plans to fly to the United States
According to a senior official, full-service airline Vistara aims to add 10 aircraft and recruit more than 1,000 personnel in the current fiscal year, but has scrapped plans to fly to the United States. Vistara, which is poised to combine with Air India, now operates 61 planes and employs approximately 5,200 people. With the demise of Go First, Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan said this week that there is a ready pool of personnel, particularly pilots and cabin crew members.
