Vistara, the country's newest full-service carrier has embarked on a growth path in 2016 and after 16 months of operation it has started reflecting in the passenger volumes. By the end of its first year of operation, Vistara had operated around 300 weekly flights in a network of 12 destinations with a fleet of nine Airbus A320-232 aircraft; A major change in Vistara's operation can be seen right from the beginning of the second quarter of 2016 when the airline considerably increases its available seat kilometers (ASKM) by adding new frequencies on existing routes, launching four new destinations even before it adds the 10th aircraft VT-TTK (first in 2016).
