VISTARA..The new face for LUXURY in TRAVEL

“First Impression is the last Impression” and it is truly said that Brand defines Class and Status.

At present Deepika Padukone is the new face of Vistara as Vistara appoints Deepika Padukone as its brand ambassador.

VISTARA… the new face of Brand, Class and Status is a joint venture of two Bid Brand names Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines.

When we talk of luxury and pleasure Vistara comes into light.

Vistara at present covers 18 destinations with the fleet size of 13 and comes with the company slogan of  “Fly the New Feeling”.

Tata SIA Airlines Limited, operating as Vistara, is an Indian domestic airline based in Gurgaon with its hub at Delhi-Indira Gandhi International Airport. The carrier, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, commenced operations on 9 January 2015 with its inaugural flight between Delhi and Mumbai. Vistara was the first airline to introduce premium economy seats on domestic routes in India.

The airline was founded in 2013 as a joint venture (JV) between India's conglomerate Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines (SIA). 

The company unveiled its brand identity "Vistara" on 11 August 2014. The name was taken from the Sanskrit word Vistaar, meaning "limitless expanse". 

Vistara received its air operator's certificate from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on 15 December 2014 and started operations on 9 January 2015. Vistara became the first carrier to operate domestic services out of the new Terminal 2 at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. On 24 August 2015, Vistara inaugurated the Aviation Security Training Institute, an in-house institute for training its cockpit and cabin crew, security staff and others related to aviation industry. The institute has secured the necessary approvals from the nodal body Bureau of Civil Aviation Security.

Vistara was the first airline in India to introduce Premium Economy class in the domestic market.

Vistara do not have in-flight entertainment screens installed but it provides pre-loaded tablets for its business-class fliers. In March 2016, Vistara started beaming content directly to passengers' personal electronic devices through one-way Wi-Fi connection through BAE Systems IntelliCabin in-flight entertainment system.

The in-flight food is catered by TajSATS Air Catering, another joint venture between Tata and a Singaporean company. Vistara offers four different meals for each cabin for different time of the day — breakfast, refreshment, lunch and dinner with options of one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian dish in economy class; two vegetarian dishes and one non-vegetarian dish in premium economy; and two vegetarian and two non-vegetarian dishes for business-class cabin. The menu is typically changed every seventh day and there are different menus for lunch and dinner. It also provides special meals upon request 24 hours before departure.

On 29 March 2016, Vistara inaugurated premium lounge service for its Business-class passengers and Club Vistara Gold card holders at the departure level of Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport at Delhi.

Vistara uses Club Vistara as its frequent-flyer program it operates as a value based program and awards points on the basis of money spent on tickets rather than miles traveled by passengers. On 29 January 2015, Vistara announced a partnership agreement with Singapore Airlines (SIA) which would allow Club Vistara members to earn and redeem miles with the KrisFlyer program on SIA and Silk Air flights and vice versa.

AIR CARNIVAL: The Airline with a difference, an answer to discounted air fares.

India has always been the market for growers in every industry. The growing economy lays a platform to investors both Indian and international.

Being a developing nation India is always open to international options when the call for experiment comes. With majority of its population in the “human capital” tag, venturing out options is an old saying.

India has been through tough times since time immemorial but it has always made a mark in the world scenario and that is one of the reasons for its fastest growing resources.

The Indian aviation market has grown since ages; while some have made it big in the market others faded who could not withstand the test of time.

At a time when aviation players are going through turbulent times, Coimbatore-based CMC (Coimbatore Marine College) group is venturing into the aviation industry by launching a low-cost carrier (LCC) under the brand Air Carnival. The airline plans to focus on short haul services with its ATR72-500 aircraft. The 70-seater aircraft are more economical for short haul services and they are proven one in India.

The company serves with the tag time “Safety first! On time every time!”

Air Carnival is an Indian regional airline based at Coimbatore International Airport with a hub at Chennai International Airport. The airline was founded in 2013 as a charter airline but has since transitioned to scheduled operations within South India, which were launched in July 2016

In 2013, S. I. Nathan, founder and director of Coimbatore Marine College (CMC) Group, founded Air Carnival Charter Services as a charter airline based in Delhi. CMC Group later shifted the focus of Air Carnival to short-haul routes within South India. Coimbatore was selected as a base because it is the headquarters of CMC Group, the airport has many available facilities and Coimbatore is a growing city located closes the Tier 1 cities Bangalore and Chennai. The airline focuses on unserved and poorly served markets. 

Manish Kumar Singh serves as CEO and S. I. Nathan, who is also the director of CMC Group, is the founder and chairman.

Coimbatore-based Air Carnival has become the fourth regional airline of the country and will fly daily to and from three Tamil Nadu airports at Coimbatore, Chennai and Madurai.

Air Carnival will become the first regional airline offering fares inclusive of in-flight entertainment and food. The airline will compete with other southern region players such as TruJet and Air Pegasus which have three aircraft each and Air Costa with four planes. To start with, the airline will deploy one 72-seater aircraft (ATR 72-500) with four flights daily on the Coimbatore-Chennai-Madurai sector. After inducting two more 72-seater planes the airline will spread its wings to Tirupati, Hubli, Vishakhapatnam, Rajahmundry and Mangalore.

Air Carnival, which got its air permit on July 4, has decided to take on their competitors head on by introducing a promotional base fare of Re 1 on the first day of operations and an all-inclusive fare of Rs 999 for the first three months. The airline has also confirmed that it plans to model itself along the low-cost airlines in the country. Even after the initial three months, their tickets will be priced at a competitive rate. The airline, which currently has only one leased aircraft, plans to introduce flights from Chennai to Bangalore. The airline then plans to add flights to Thiruvananthapuram, Mangalore, Hubli and Mysore from both Chennai and Coimbatore, depending on market surveys.

The entry of Air Carnival is likely to heat up the competition. At present there are three operators flying seven flights a day from Coimbatore to Chennai. The 70-seater flight will fly to Chennai, Madurai and Bangalore on a daily basis.

Once the flight lands in Chennai from Coimbatore, it will make a round-trip to Madurai and Bangalore. The airline also plans to acquire its second and third aircraft after three to six months, based on operations and revenue coming in.

D Nandhakumar from the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry stated that “Industrialists welcome the additional flight services, they should consider shuttle flights offering fixed price open tickets even if slightly more expensive, for frequent travelers," 

The airline plans to price its tickets parallel to low-cost airlines, but plans to experiment with the in-flight facilities like ways to serve hot fresh on board instead of the currently packaged food served on short flight segments and also mulling ways to make the food served on-board a part of the ticket package or free of cost.

Domestic operation at the fast-growing Tiruchi International Airport is expected to improve with Air Carnival expressing its interest to launch a service in the Chennai-Tiruchi– Chennai sector. The airline aims to cover all the airports in Tamil Nadu in the next 24 to 36 months.

Welcoming the additional flights from the Air Carnival, frequent travelers from Madurai to Chennai and Coimbatore said that it reflected that there was potential in this sector. On an average, the flight was 80 per cent occupied daily.

Of all the new airlines, Vistara is the only one not based in the south. AirAsia India, Pegasus, Fly Easy, Air Carnival, TurboMegha's TruJet, and Air Costa are all based in the south. This is because of the promise the region holds.

Among the five regions -- North, West, East, North East and South -- the southern region is the most lucrative market considering it has three metros, which is half the total number of metros in the country.

According to analysts Hyderabad and Bangalore are Greenfield and better planned airports, and this allows them to better support new airlines through improved infrastructure and sops. South has lucrative cities including Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin and others. No other region is this attractive.

Though being a low fare airline Air Carnival takes into consideration passengers’ comfort. The airlines is planning to incorporate various facilities, the initiative starts with providing hot served food with will be included in the ticket free of cost.

This airlines’ major concern is to capture the market initially by launching itself as a regional airlines then spreading its wings to other sectors. This airline will prove to be a boon for frequent flyers especially from small cities.

Officials said tickets have already opened on its website and they have tied up with different travel agents and leading travel portals for availability of tickets.

There is always a market for each and every thing in life, as Air Carnival is launched as a low budget airline keeping in consideration the common man’s need as single frequent flyers there are advantages as well in travelling in a group.

It may be a dream for some to board a flight rather it may be unapproachable for the pocket-friendly people but thanks to humble initiative like Air Carnival who keeps in mind those pocket-friendly segments of population that will be a part of their profit making strategy in the near future.

Though Air Carnival have opened its website for tickets and have tied up with different agents for tickets which again may be confined to single frequent flyers for groups there is always a different option.

WHY TRAVEL IN A GROUP- A TRAVELOGUE

WHY TRAVEL IN A GROUP??

TRAVEL

What is TRAVEL or rather why do we need to travel? Did any of us really think of this question? Not really, we as individuals are so busy in our everyday life that we tend to or usually forget the basic meaning of most of the words that can really make our life. What basically travel is? Is  it just moving out of the house with our bag and baggage to the assigned destination through any mode of transport? If that is travel in our daily life we do go to office, to the market, to the grocery store as well, can these be termed as travel as well? THINK!!! We at present belong to an era where most of the things are materialized and we look at things from the third eye (mobile lens) rather than make good use of the eyes that we have.

People travel on a daily basis through the same route but remain ignorant of the things that pass them, rather they spend time on browsing the same thing on the internet– this is the irony of life today.  We eye for something that is not important and ignore those which we have with us.

It’s time that we open our eyes and relives the life that we have. Let us just not select destinations over the internet, reach there and come back with closed  eyes a but  let us enjoy the beauty of this beautiful world at any corner  at any place with an open mind and eye.

HAVE ANYONE EVER THOUGHT OF WHY “TRAVEL??”

Basically in today’s scenario we do not have time to think of why we do something, we do it to impress others or we do it because others are doing it. It has become a trend to live somebody else’s life rather than living our own.

Let us start a new journey today, let us analyze something different today. “Have you ever noticed any child going to school?” The child is curious to know about the things that he or she sees for the first time or on a daily basis, the child is loaded with questions and interprets things in his or her own way. The child not only travels but also does an in-depth analysis of the things around him. Let us be the child again the way we were and enjoy our destination.

Education refines our life and TRAVEL has always been a part of this educational process. Travel when a part of any education process exudes pleasure and happiness.

Let this beautiful world be a book with variant colors and let us read this book with an open mind. Life should not be confined to the four walls of a room nor should education be confined to books. It’s important to be knowledgeable than informative. Let us not remain informative regarding destination but be knowledgeable while we travel.

Travelling not only opens our eyes but also opens our mind. A person travelling will not need a book to be knowledgeable rather he will be a book in himself to be a storyteller. Why depend on someone else to know what the things are that are around us, let us learn something new each day, let us not be confined when we travel , let us EXPLORE.

EXPLORE LIFE WHILE WE TRAVEL

It is rightly said “Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. When we travel we not only gain information or knowledge to be precise we live moments, we cherish these experiences throughout our life. 

Travel explore should not be confined to big destinations but we need to detail our eye in our daily destinations as well.

Make the life that we live worth living and explore it for a meaning.

BE A TRAVELLER RATHER A TOURIST

We all travel in our everyday life, we all visit destinations as well, but how many of us are travelers rather than tourists?? Now the query is “WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRAVELLER AND A TOURIST”?? No one has ever thought of it, for every common man it’s basically two sides of the same coin. But technically it’s a traveler’s quest to explore that makes those places re-visit by tourists over ages. We need to feel the air of travel for any long lasting effect…... Their words are personified not only through lens but with closed eyes as well.

WHAT BASICALLY IS A GROUP

What groups basically are? What are they for? We as individuals are not meant to live the life of a recluse; we at every step of life are dependent on someone. Whenever we refer to groups we not only refer them to life but also in travel.  Group travelling has many advantages than travelling alone. Some people might prefer travelling all alone just to avoid the interference of others’ as he or she might be a silent traveler, but travelling in a group always gives you the sense of security.

WHY TRAVEL IN A GROUP

When the topic of travel comes individuals have different tastes, some like to travel alone while others prefer a group. In a group some are comfortable travelling with their family where experimenting is not so much on the cards. While there are some who likes to EXPLORE and NOT just TRAVEL. They experiment going out with friends, meet new people and exploring the life of the unknown.

There are few who like to travel all alone, be in own cocoon and be a silent spectator. Do much do they enjoy life travelling all alone being aloof remains a hard question to answer. For them its travel is their journey of life, it’s their companion, their soul mate.

But there are some questions that might trouble the group travelers, is travelling alone SAFE? Can there any discussion relating to this? There cannot be arguments but opinions regarding how safe travelling alone is.

Travelling alone has its own advantages and disadvantages but now let us focus WHY TRAVELLING IN A GROUP IS IMPORTANT.

In today’s hectic schedule travelling is a boon to distress oneself. A break away from life lets you discover the new way of living.

Travelling with a group with family of friends can be extremely rewarding, and it can save you lots of money. Travelling in a group not only adds glamour in your trip but also allows you to make new friends. Travelling in a group reduces expenses as all will be sharing the expenses of the trip. Group travelling not only allows getting discounted rates in hotels, restaurants but also gives you group discounted bookings from airlines or travel agents as well.

When we talk of group travel apart from providing discounts the biggest advantage is SAFETY. Ever thought of it? Yes many people prefer group bookings for safety purpose. When we travel alone in any new location we are bound to take care of our self. But when we are in a group we feel safe and protected. As the saying goes “many hands make work lighter” – whenever we are in a group are well equipped to encounter any trouble. Here we can cite the best example of the stories related to strength. When we stand in a group we get ideas of exploring new avenues any tackling with any situation.

UNITED WE STAND

We come alone and we die alone – then why do we need someone to share our life and responsibilities? Is it really possible to live the life of a recluse? This is one question that has had different opinions from different sects of people.

As the very old story of the old man and his five sons goes – “The old man was on his dying bed and had called upon all his sons and had asked them to break a bunch of sticks. None could break that bunch of stick individually but was only possible when they had worked together on it”. This simple story from life teaches us that we as individuals are not possible to live all alone. We can always face any problem when we are united rather than alone.

GROUP BOOKINGS

Destinations have never been a benchmark for choice. A small village in the remote of India can be as exciting as any trip for some to any International destination. As the saying goes “Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder”.

We have dealt with the advantages and disadvantages of travelling in a group; let us now see what GROUP BOOKINGS deals with. When we talk of group bookings we should start seeing its advantages from the root level. Proper care should be taken when we are planning any group with elders and kids.

FAREHAWKER for GROUP BOOKING

Whenever the name of GROUP BOOKINGS comes FAREHAWKER stands our being the pioneer for group bookings only. FareHawker has been in the market of group bookings since its inception. It not only provides discounts for group fares but also takes care of the group where only girls travel.  It has set a bench mark where group travel is concerned.

LASTLY, we all travel to different destinations; some prefer travelling to the same destination either alone or in a group; while some does not prefer the word TRAVEL because for them TRAVEL is confined to visit; they prefer to EXPLORE unknown destinations in a group especially to know new places and people. With positivity we end to pen here and start our new journey to explore; to make our life worth living with the moments that we make through the journey called TRAVEL, explore you wings to the horizon.....
