Vistara to operate direct flights between Delhi and Tokyo from 16 June

Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, will start non-stop flights between Indian and Japan from 16 June, the airline said in a statement on Monday.

The airline will operate weekly flights between New Delhi and Tokyo using its Boeing 787-9 aircraft with three-class cabin configuration (economy, premium economy and business class) to serve the route.

Japan was one of the destinations the airline has been planning to include in its network since the airline placed orders for wide body planes (Boeing 787) which can cover long-haul destinations.

Other airlines that operate direct flights between India and Japan include All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Air India.
