Congestion in Delhi may force Vistara to look for a second airport hub

Bengaluru Airport likely to become next hub for airline after Delhi

Its inability to secure night parking bays in the capacity-constrained Mumbai airport and to grow its business outside Delhi and Mumbai are said to be the major reasons behind the move. “We will certainly develop a second hub but only after reaching a scale. Currently, with 16 aircraft, we don’t need a new hub,” chief executive officer Phee Teik Yeoh said in respond to a query from Business Standard.
