Vistara, a joint venture of Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, started its operations in India on January 9. With three aircrafts currently and Delhi as its operational hub, Vistara will have a fleet size of five by March and will soon announce the addition of more destinations, the airline said.

The daily flights to Goa and a double daily to Hyderabad from Delhi will be launched from February 20 and March 1 respectively, the airline said.

“We are delighted to announce the expansion of our network with flights from Delhi to Hyderabad and Delhi to Goa. Both these cities offer huge potential in terms of passenger traffic. With the introduction of our new flights, we are in a strong position to enhance domestic air connectivity and provide the seamless and personalised Vistara experience to more customers in India,” Vistara chief executive Phee Teik Yeoh said.

The airline currently has three Airbus 320 planes in its fleet, which it plans take up to five by March.
