The Hindu
Vistara has made “some temporary adjustments and modifications” to its short-term plans but is focused on “protecting all jobs” at the airline, says CEO Leslie Thng
As the civil aviation sector grapples with “one of the toughest times” due to the coronavirus pandemic, Vistara chief Leslie Thng has said vaccines will play a significant role in the full recovery of air travel demand worldwide and asserted that the airline is committed to spreading its wings in the long term. Vistara, which started operations more than six years ago, has made “some temporary adjustments and modifications” to its short-term plans but is focused on “protecting all jobs” at the airline, he emphasised. The second wave of the pandemic has significantly impacted the domestic air travel demand, which was slowly on the recovery path. With plummeting demand, mainly due to many States putting in place travel restrictions to curb COVID-19 infections, airlines are flying at lower capacities and also grappling with financial woes.
