Vistara to operate special Delhi-London service

By Molly Dyson / 25 August 2020 / Contact Reporter

Indian airline Vistara has announced it will operate a special service between Delhi and London Heathrow from 28 August to 30 September following the formation of a travel bubble between the UK and India to allow residents to return to either country.

The flights will mark Vistara’s first foray into international operations and will be operated by the airline’s new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with Economy, Premium Economy and Business class seats. Flights will operate on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, departing Delhi at 0215 and arriving at Heathrow at 0655 local time. The return service takes off at 1535 and lands at 0415 the following day local time.

Vistara said it will accept all eligible passengers meeting visa or entry requirements in both countries. International passengers arriving into Delhi must fill in a mandatory self-reporting form on Delhi airport’s online portal Air Suvidah, where eligible travellers can apply for exemption from compulsory quarantine. Meanwhile, passengers arriving in London will be required to quarantine for 14 days unless they are in a profession that exempts them.

According to Vistara, which is a joint venture between Singapore Airlines and the Tata Group, all cabin crew will wear personal protective equipment during the flight and avoid all non-essential interaction with passengers. Aircraft cabins will be deep cleaned after every flight, including sanitisation of all surfaces such as seats, touchscreens, overhead bins, seatbelts, tray tables and galleys.

The airline has also received its second Dreamliner and seeking regulatory approval to operate similar special flights to Paris and Frankfurt.

Leslie Thng, CEO of Vistara, said: “As the world starts opening up in a phased manner following an extended global lockdown, these special flights give us the privilege of facilitating travel between the two countries.

“The arrival of our second Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner further strengthens our fleet and underlines our commitment to expanding globally.”
