Mumbai: Vistara, which was in the forefront to get the 5/20 rule partially scrapped, today said it "will not be rushing into international operations" and that something towards this is "unlikely before June 2018", when it will get the delivery of the 20th aircraft.
"We are not rushing into international operations. It's not a race for us. But we will definitely do it. We will get the delivery of our 20th plane by the first half of 2018.
"So, with the government retaining the 20-plane clause for international operations, I think we will be able to take a call only after that. Of course, we are reviewing and refining our international strategy," Vistara chief strategy and commercial officer Sanjiv Kapoor told PTI today.
Kapoor, who joined the Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines promoted Vistara only recently, further said their international operations will begin with the Saarc markets and the Gulf as their present set of planes (A320s) could serve short-haul markets the best.
