Vistara exploring newer avenues to supplement earnings; aims to have 70 planes by 2023: CEO Leslie Thng

With a “nimble” approach, Vistara is focussing on a leaner cost-structure as well as exploring newer avenues to supplement earnings, its CEO Leslie Thng has said and emphasised that full service carriers are even more relevant in the current COVID scenario. The Delhi-based airline, which entered the domestic aviation space in January 2015, aims to have 70 planes in its fleet by 2023.

In an e-mail interaction with PTI, Thng said that full service carriers look to be relevant more in the current scenario due to less density of seats in the cabins.

With the pandemic, there is increased focus on social distancing during air travel.
