Vistara on Friday (March 29) announced a significant milestone and launched non-stop flights between Mumbai and Paris, operating five times a week. The inaugural flight, operated on Vistara’s 787-9 Dreamliner, departed from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai at 13:50 Hours (IST) on March 28 and landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport at 18:55 Hours (CET).

With the addition of this new route, the India’s premier full-service carrier, owned by the Tata group and Singapore Airlines, now connects Paris to two Indian airports – Delhi and Mumbai.

Notably, this development also marked Vistara’s sixth long-haul direct route between India and Europe, further enhancing travel options for passengers.
