In a move to expand its international network, Vistara has recently launched daily direct flights between Delhi and Hong Kong. The inaugural flight, operated by an A321 neo aircraft, took off from Delhi airport on the evening of October 29 and landed in Hong Kong on October 30 morning.
The introduction of this direct route is part of Vistara’s strategic plan to grow its international network. As one of the world’s leading commercial hubs, Hong Kong attracts a significant amount of business, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions), and VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) travel from India. It is also a popular leisure destination.

Vistara’s CEO, Vinod Kannan, expressed his excitement about this new addition.
