Vistara Asks Passengers To Travel Only in Emergency

Besides, in a shocking move, Vistara has asked all passengers to only travel if needed.

This can result to huge losses for the airlines: If the passengers are not flying, how will Vistara make money?

But despite this, they have pleaded to all passengers that if their air travel is not necessary, then don’t travel.

We all appreciate this gesture by Vistara.
