Vistara is inducting six planes, including four Boeing 737s, to fuel its expansion plan. These Boeing 737s were earlier flown by Jet Airways and will have two class configurations (12 business and 156 economy seats).
Vistara will use the planes on domestic routes and will open three new destinations, it is learnt.
Vistara operates an Airbus A320 fleet in a three-class configuration, which includes a premium economy cabin. It has opted to go for a mixed fleet following the collapse of Jet Airways. Jet’s grounding has opened up growth opportunities for rival airlines, which have access to slots, planes, pilots and trained manpower from it.
