As India's No-frills Carriers Struggle To Earn Profits, Soon-to-launch Vistara Slots Itself As 'Luxury' Airline

India’s newest airline, a joint venture between India’s Tata Sons conglomerate and Singapore Airlines, will be a full-service luxury carrier named Vistara. The name is derived from the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit and means ‘vast expanse’, connecting with the airline’s domain of flying the limitless skies. Vistara is scheduled to take off in October 2014.
