New Delhi: Three weeks after Vistara, promoted by Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, started operations, detractors have started to say that it won't be a cakewalk for the country's latest airline: its average passenger load factor (PLF) of 56 per cent is way below 75-80 per cent reported by rivals.
Some say it made a mistake by not responding to the fare war kicked off by Air India and lost an opportunity to let flyers sample its services. Even market leader IndiGo and loss-making Jet Airways cut fares to take on Air India. Still others say its premium economy class, priced 20 per cent higher than economy seats, hasn't taken off and its occupancy is just 35 per cent.
