Vistara’s plan is flying

Mumbai: The much-expected announcement of the inauguration of the Tata-Singapore Airlines venture, Vistara, is bound to create a major churn in the Indian aviation which has just seen the arrival of another new airline, Air Asia.
Vistara will take a long time to make an impact on the foreign travel market because of the Jet Airway-Etihad tie up and Air India joining the powerful Star Alliance. Between these two, almost the entire foreign travel from India has almost been sewn up.
So Vistara will have to first make its mark in the domestic market. In this case, the timing may be right because the new airline can bite into the domestic market where Jet Airways is facing turbulent times and is planning to cut out two of its low-cost brands,Jet Konnect and Jet Liteand become a one brand, one pricing, one strategy airline.

According to aviation industry experts, Delhi-based Vistara which promises luxurious traveling for its passengers, will operate mainly on trunk routes going stragtegically in the opposite direction of Air Asia which has shunned the metros and is focussing on Tier II cities to make and early impact.
Vistara will have 87 weekly flights linking Delhi to Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jammu, Srinagar, Patna and Chandigarh.
