Vistara inaugurates daily, non – stop flights between Mumbai and Muscat

Full service carrier Vistara on Monday launched daily, non-stop flights between Mumbai and Muscat, a move that will see the airline expand its footprint in the lucrative Middle East region.

The inaugural flight departed from Mumbai at 2000 hours (IST) and arrived in Muscat at 2135 hours (GST).

Muscat is the fourth destination in the Gulf region for Vistara, which is a joint venture between the Tatas and Singapore Airlines.

The airline said there has been a consistent rise in passenger volumes and demand from the Gulf countries, paving way for the airline to bolster its presence in the region.
