Vistara, a joint venture of Tata group and Singapore Airlines, marked its eighth anniversary today (on January 9, 2023) in style. Vistara operated a special flight, UK08, that took off from Trivandrum and drew the number ‘8’ in the skies. This makes Vistara the first commercial airline to draw the figure ‘8’ at 20,000 ft. at 300 KIAS over 450 NM in oceanic airspace above the Arabian Sea by its Airbus 321neo. Passengers onboard this flight were able to track the flight path real time on the seat-back screens.

The airline also announced a network-wide (domestic and international), anniversary-special sale applicable across all three of its cabins. Bookings under the sale are open starting 0001 hours on 08 January 2023 until 2359 hours of 12 January 2023, for travel between 23 January 2023 and 30 September 2023 (blackout dates apply).
