In the wake of rising passenger footprint from Middle East region, full service carrier Vistara commenced non-stop flights between Mumbai and Muscat which will also enable the expansion in the lucrative Middle East region. This will be its fourth Middle East flight destination. The airline said there has been a consistent rise in passenger volumes and demand from the Gulf countries, paving way for the airline to bolster its presence in the region.
Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer, Vistara, said the launch of operations to Muscat is in line with the airline’s goal to steadily enhance its footprint in the Middle East. “The firm bilateral relationship and robust cultural and economic ties between India and states in the Gulf region have given great impetus to our growth plans, and our successful business on the other Middle Eastern routes is a testament to that,” he said.
