Vistara - a joint venture of Tata group and Singapore Airlines, has announced the addition of a new long-haul route to its growing international network. The airline will be ramping up its presence at LHR (London Heathrow) with direct, 5 times a week flights between Mumbai and London starting June 1, 2023. Vistara will operate its brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, featuring a three-class configuration, on the route as it enhances connectivity between India and the UK. Bookings for the flights are being progressively opened on all channels, including Vistara’s website, mobile app, and through travel agents.
Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer, Vistara, said, “We are delighted to announce Mumbai-London as our fourth route to Europe after connecting Frankfurt, Paris and London with Delhi. The launch of this new route is also a reflection of our customers’ growing preference for Vistara, for travel between India and the UK. This additional gateway also offers our customers more options and flexibility with their travel itineraries while choosing to fly the country’s most loved airline. We look forward to further expanding our presence in Europe, especially with more wide-body aircraft joining our fleet in the coming months.”
Vistara will accept all eligible customers meeting visa/entry requirements in both countries, as specified by the respective government bodies. Vistara strongly encourages its customers to fully understand these guidelines before making their bookings.
