    Vistara decides to scale back by 10%. What does it mean for the passenger?

    The last few days have been turbulent for Vistara - the Tata SIA JV which is all set to merge with Air India. From complaints of delays and cancellations to clubbing of flights and deploying widebody aircraft, the initial days went in fire fighting. The airline has finally come out with information that it is scaling back its operations by around 25-30 flights per day, or 10% of its capacity. This will take the airline back to where it was at the end of February and it is being done to create a buffer in the rosters.

    Interestingly, the last line of the statement from Vistara reads that it is hopeful of stable operations for the rest of the month and beyond. While this may just be a play with words, the airline itself being hopeful and not confident is where the panic lies for the passenger.
