Vistara has been asked to provide the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) with a comprehensive report on flight delays and cancellations. One hundred more flights were canceled by the Singapore Airlines and Tata Group-owned airlines last week. More than 160 planes have had delays at the same time.
Due to a pilot shortage, the airline canceled over 38 of the morning's scheduled flights today. This has resulted in the cancellation of 15 flights from Mumbai, 12 from Delhi, and 11 from Bangalore. About fifty flights were canceled by the company yesterday, April 1st, as well.
In addition to reducing its flying schedule, the airline is offering refunds.
In light of this, the airline has chosen to reduce its flight schedule. Only a restricted number of flights will be conducted until the pilot deficit is addressed, according to a statement released by Vistara. Travelers on canceled flights will also receive a refund from the airline.
There will be fewer flights to ensure an optimal connection.
A representative for Vistara stated, "There have been numerous delays and flight cancellations in the last few days." We agree to that. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this has given our clients. Our group is working to lower it. In order to guarantee improved network connectivity, we have chosen to decrease the number of flights.

According to the airline, big planes like the A321neo and B787-9 Dreamliner have also been used on domestic routes to accommodate the greatest number of passengers at once. According to Vistara, clients are also given the choice of other flights and refunds in accordance with the regulations.
