New Delhi, Dubai, 22 August 2019: Vistara, India’s finest full-service carrier and a JV of Tata and Singapore Airlines, yesterday inaugurated its daily service between Mumbai and Dubai.

Vistara’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Leslie Thng, said on the occasion, “We’re very excited to start our service to Dubai, a city that’s home to millions of Indians, place of business for many Indian corporations and is also the most-preferred holiday destination for so many people. Now Dubai also has India’s best airline that’s committed to making a mark in global aviation with a world-class product and gold-standard service. With a great product and unmatched Indian hospitality, we bring something unique to the India-UAE route and are confident that travellers will enjoy flying the ‘new feeling’ with Vistara.”
Vistara celebrated the occasion with all the customers on the inaugural flight. To make their experience equally memorable, the airline presented them a gift bag of memorabilia and chocolates.
