Vistara, India’s renowned full-service airline and a joint venture of the Tata group and Singapore Airlines, has exciting news for travelers. The airline has officially announced the launch of direct flights between Mumbai and Frankfurt, scheduled to commence operations on November 15, 2023. This new route further enhances Vistara’s international connectivity, in addition to its existing 6x weekly service between Delhi and Frankfurt, which has been well-received since its debut in February 2021.
The airline will operate these long-haul flights with its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, offering passengers a comfortable three-class cabin configuration, including Business, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins. Booking for these flights is gradually being made available on all channels, including Vistara’s website, mobile app, and through travel agents.
Mumbai has witnessed remarkable growth in Vistara’s operations, particularly as a gateway to the airline’s international network. Vistara now connects Mumbai to a total of 12 international destinations, including Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Colombo, Dammam, Dhaka, Dubai, Jeddah, London Heathrow, Male, Mauritius, Muscat, and Singapore. Over the past year, the airline has expanded its domestic and international connections from Mumbai, resulting in a 42% increase in the number of departures and nearly doubling its employee strength at the station.
Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer of Vistara, expressed his delight, saying, “We are delighted to expand our international network with the launch of this new service between Mumbai and Frankfurt. Our long-haul routes, connecting Delhi with London Heathrow, Paris, and Frankfurt, have been very popular amongst our customers, which gave us the confidence to offer similar connections from Mumbai as well. This will be our second long-haul route from Mumbai, in addition to 5x weekly flights to London Heathrow, and we hope that our customers will appreciate having the option of flying with India’s best airline on this sector.”
He further added, “Over the past couple of years, we have launched several new international routes from Mumbai, especially to the Middle East. This aligns perfectly with our strategy to position Mumbai as a vital hub for international travel.”
