Vistara, India's fastest growing full-service carrier and a joint venture of Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, has added Dubai, UAE, as the second international destination to its network.

The carrier will operate daily flights between Mumbai and Dubai, with the first flight taking off on August 21.

The airline will use its Airbus A320neo aircraft with three-class cabin configuration to fly to and from Dubai, making Vistara the first airline to offer the choice of Premium Economy class for travel between India and the UAE in addition to Economy and Business Class.

Customers can also take convenient one-stop connections to/from other cities beyond Mumbai, namely Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad and Kolkata, as well as Singapore.

Leslie Thng, chief executive officer, Vistara, said: “We’re delighted to add Dubai to our growing network, a city that has been constantly thriving for decades and always has something new to offer. With the continuous influx of international trade, business and tourists all year round, especially given the strong economic and cultural ties between India and the UAE, Dubai makes a key addition to our growing network. We’re very excited to offer India’s finest flying experience to travellers from both the countries.”

Vistara inaugurated its international operations with flights to Singapore from Delhi and Mumbai, starting on August 6 and August 7, respectively.

Bookings for flights to and from Dubai are being progressively opened on all channels, including Vistara’s website, iOS & Android mobile apps and through online travel agencies (OTAs) and travel agents. - TradeArabia News Service
