GURUGRAM, India, 1 April 2024: Vistara launched five weekly flights between Mumbai and Paris using Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 last week.
The inaugural flight departed from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at 1350 on 28 March and arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport at 1855.
With this new route, Vistara connects Paris to two Indian airports — Delhi and Mumbai. This is also Vistara’s sixth long-haul direct route between India and Europe.
Vistara Chief Executive Officer Vinod Kannan said: “We are delighted to commence direct connectivity between Mumbai and Paris. This new route, in addition to our non-stop flights connecting Delhi and Paris, reflects the increasing preference of our customers to fly Vistara for seamless travel between India and France. This strategic expansion also enables us to aid the growing traffic between the two countries, given the burgeoning cooperation across sectors, including trade, investment, science, technology, and academia. We are confident that customers will appreciate flying India’s best airline on this additional route, further solidifying our presence in Europe.”
