Vistara launches Delhi-Port Blair service

Full service carrier Vistara today launched a daily service to Port Blair from here via Kolkata.
With the addition of Port Blair into its network, Vistara now operates from 18 domestic airports across the country.
"The new service to Port Blair offers a daily flight from Delhi and Kolkata (same aircraft service via Kolkata), with arrival and departure timings that allow for convenient connections to ferry and catamaran services between Port Blair and Havelock Island," Vistara said in a release.
Besides, the airline has also announced the addition of a third daily flight between Delhi and Kolkata to cater to the Durga Puja rush.

"This supplementary flight will operate between September 30 and October 12," the release said.
The Delhi-based carrier, in which Tata Sons holds 51 per cent stake and rest are held by Singapore Airlines, currently has 12 Airbus A320 planes in its fleet.
Early this week, Vistara Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer Sanjiv kapoor had said that the airline was expecting to induct 13th aircraft by the third week of October.
"We have inducted the 12th aircraft in the fleet last week, and the 13th aircraft will be delivered to us in the third week of October. With this, we will be operating 530 flight per week by this year end," Kapoor said.
