Vistara's next destinations

Air Vistara, the joint venture between the Tatas and Singapore Airlines, started operations on 9 January 2015. As of now, they operate BOM-DEL (and vice versa), BOM-AMD (and v/v), and DEL-AMD (and v/v).

When they were planning their routes in April last year, they had submitted to the DGCA, a proposal that covered Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Srinagar, Jammu, Patna and Chandigarh as destinations.


Air Vistara currently has a fleet size of 3, but is expected to expand to 6 by March 2015. The new destinations that are planned include Goa, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad, and my guess is that these destinations will have direct flights to/from Delhi. The fog situation in India (especially in the north) is likely to be the reason they're waiting till March to launch these new routes. Bagdogra and Guwahati may also be other routes, according to an inside source in Vistara.

Vistara has also announced its revised flight schedules for 16 February to 28 March, just before the onset of the summer time tables. These include additional services amongst the existing 3 destinations, as well as flight timing revisions. In fact, very few of the current flight timings remain the same, so do keep that in mind if you're planning to fly them.
