Vistara, India's fastest growing full service carrier, has announced plans launched a daily direct service between Delhi and Chennai.

The airline will double the frequency between the two cities from March 1, providing convenient same-day return options in both directions.

In addition, Vistara will fly daily direct between Chennai and Port Blair from March 1, and will further expand its operations from the city from March 25, with daily direct flights between Chennai and Kochi and double daily flights between Chennai and Kolkata. With the inclusion of Chennai to its expanding network, the airline now flies to all Indian metros.

In addition, Chennai customers can connect through Delhi to many additional destinations including Srinagar, Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Varanasi, Bagdogra, and Guwahati. Travellers also get to enjoy Delhi’s state-of-the-art Terminal 3 when flying Vistara, as well as seamless same-terminal connections when connecting to and from international flights at Delhi on Vistara’s 21 international airline partners.

Commenting at the launch of the destination, Sanjiv Kapoor, Vistara’s chief strategy and commercial officer, said: “Many of our customers had been waiting for us to bring ‘the new feeling of flying’ to Chennai, and we’re pleased to finally inaugurate our service to the city. We may have been late in coming to Chennai, but our aggressive expansion plan from the city truly signals its importance to Vistara. There is a clear need in the market today for a redefined flying experience and world-class service standards, and we are confident the Vistara experience will delight travellers and win us a special place in the hearts of all Chennai residents.” - TradeArabia News Service
