Vistara to raise frequency on existing domestic routes, says Leslie Thng

Competition pressure and pricing remain a concern. Vistara has been able to increase fares and yields over last year

Vistara, joint venture of Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, is to raise its frequency on existing domestic routes, besides adding one or two destinations, Chief Executive Leslie Thng said.
 
It began flying in January 2015 and operates 130 daily flights, with 22 aircraft. Thng said they were aiming at double-digit capacity growth and would add six to 10 of Airbus’ A320neo planes in 2019. Deliveries will begin from the second half of the year. There is no plan to take more aircraft on lease.
 
The airline has 56 planes on order — 50 of Airbus (A320s and A321neos)
