Indian carrier Vistara joins IATA

Thursday, 30 Apr, 2018 0

Indian carrier Vistara has joined global airline association IATA as it plans to spread its wings to international services.

Vistara becomes just the third airline in India to join the 280-member global alliance after Air India and Jet Airways.

Membership of IATA gives options for international codeshare and interline partnerships with other member carriers.

"We are extremely proud to join the international community of IATA members. This couldn’t have come at a better time as we gear up to launch our international operations soon," said Vistara CEO Leslie Thng.

Vistara completed the IATA operations safety audit last year, a requirement for new member airlines.

Vistara is a joint venture between Indian conglomerate Tata and Singapore Airlines.

The airline has a fleet of 20 Airbus jets serving 22 Indian destinations.
