Vistara CEO says "worst is behind us"
MUMBAI [Maha Media]: After facing significant flight disruptions recently, Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan today told the airline staff that the "worst is behind us" and operations have already stabilised.
Pilot woes have forced the Tata Group airline to temporarily cut down capacity by 10 per cent or 25-30 flights daily.
While acknowledging that things should have been planned better, Kannan said it has been a "learning experience".
He also said it has been a challenging start to the new financial year and the airline faced significant operational disruption from March 31 to April 2.
"The anxiety and frustration felt by our customers was matched in even measure to the pain that all of us felt in seeing our much-loved brand drawing negative commentary from various quarters... I assure you that the worst is behind us, and we have already stabilised our operations, with our on-time performance (OTP) increasing to 89 per cent on 9 April 2024 (second highest among all Indian airlines)," he said in a message to the staff.
The full-service carrier has around 6,500 people, including about 1,000 pilots.
