Tata-SIA joint venture Vistara has completed the induction of Airbus A320ceo planes in its fleet, with the arrival of the 13th and the last such aircraft from Toulouse in France this week. The airline will now induct fuel-efficient A320neo, which are scheduled to be delivered from the first quarter of the next fiscal. Vistara plans to use the 13th A320 plane in launching its operations from Kolkata to Bengaluru, Guwahati and Port Blair.
The airline had in 2014 announced leasing of 20 Airbus A320 planes – 13 A320ceo (current engine option) and seven A320neo (new engine option) – from Singaporean leasing firm, BOC Aviation.
“We have taken delivery of the 13th and final A320ceo plane. The aircraft will be based in Kolkata for carrying out services on Kolkata-Bengaluru, Bengaluru-Guwahati (via Kolkata) and Kolkata-Port Blair routes,” a Vistara spokesperson said.
