PUNE: In its pledge to reduce usage of plastic, especially single-use plastic, Vistara plans to remove all individual-sized 200ml water bottles from its flights.
The initiative was implemented on Delhi–Mumbai flights on July 16, and will be extended to all flights across the airline’s network in phases over the coming weeks.
Economy class customers, who were hitherto given water in small plastic bottles, will now be served mineral water in environment-friendly paper cups.
Thus far, Vistara has significantly reduced single-use plastic usage and has a further 50% reduction target this year, its officials claimed.
