India’s Vistara airline inaugurates daily service to Bangkok

 

 

Vistara, a full-service carrier based in India and a joint venture of Tata and Singapore Airlines, on Tuesday inaugurated its daily service to Bangkok, Thailand, the third international destination in its network.

 

The launch also aims to cash in on the increasing number of arrivals of visitors from India to Thailand every year. The airline is also considering an expansion to other tourist destinations in Thailand. 

 

Vistara will now fly daily between Delhi and Bangkok, and will be the only airline to offer the choice of premium economy class for travel between India and Thailand, in addition to business and economy classes.

 

Customers from Bangkok can also take convenient onward connections on Vistara to several destinations within India, including Amritsar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai.

 

Vistara’s chief executive officer Leslie Thng said on the occasion, “We’re delighted to enter another new geography with service to Bangkok, one of world’s most-visited cities with immense potential to further grow tourism as well as business.

 

"With Vistara, we introduce India’s best airline to Bangkok, [an airline] that’s committed to making a mark in global aviation with its world-class product and impeccable service. With a novel product and unmatched Indian hospitality, we offer a unique experience and are confident that travellers will enjoy flying the ‘new feeling’ with Vistara.”

 

Vistara inaugurated its international operations earlier this month with daily flights to Singapore from Delhi and Mumbai, followed by the launch of daily service to Dubai, UAE from Mumbai.

 

The airline now connects 27 destinations and operates over 1200 flights a week served by a fleet of 23 Airbus A320 and eight Boeing 737-800NG aircraft, and has flown more than 16 million customers since starting operations in 2015.

 

TATA SIA Airlines Limited, known by the brand name Vistara, is a joint venture between Tata Sons Limited and Singapore Airlines Limited (SIA) with Tata Sons holding the majority stake of 51 per cent in the company and SIA holding the remaining 49 per cent.

 

Vistara commenced its commercial operations on January 9, 2015 with an aim to set new standards in the aviation industry in India, and it today connects destinations across the length and breadth of the country.

God help us ???? A couple of weeks ago I saw 8 indians urinating in THE MIDDLE of the road on Soi 4 late at night ! My friend came down to his condo to find one of them washing his underwear in the condo swimming pool. I have a feeling that there is going to be a lowering of standards hitting what used to be a great little holiday destination ????
