New Delhi: As it looks to consolidate its position in the full service carrier space, merger-bound Vistara has said the premium economy class is here to stay and there has been a surge in the number of passengers opting for these seats.
Vistara, a joint venture between Tatas and Singapore Airlines, was the first to introduce premium economy class in India. It operates around 320 flights daily on domestic and international routes with a fleet of 67 planes, and three more aircraft will be inducted by April this year.
Currently, the airline offers premium economy class in the three aircraft models operated by it — Airbus 320 neo, Airbus 321 and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
