I really hope they can succeed as a full service airline and raise the paltry standards we have now. Hopefully 20/5 gets relaxed, too.

Hmmm, I totally get avoiding Kolkata, but Chennai seems like an odd major metro miss.

Due to delays in regulatory approvals, Vistara's launch may get delayed by a few months.

In IST (Indian Stretchable time) a week could be between 7 days to 365. A month in IST, now that is a different matter.

Paraphrase: Vijay Mallaya " Kingfisher should be profitable in the next few months"

Good one. Indians here normally ask - is that AST (American std time) or IST?

Vistara took delivery of its first aircraft (an A320-200) on Thursday.

I handled the aircraft during its overnight stop in Ras Al Khaimah on Wednesday night en route between Toulouse and Delhi. Very nice interior (I have pics but have been asked not to post them yet).
