Vistara has announced firm orders for 13 Airbus A-320 Neo family and 6 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft worth USD 3.1 billion. In addition, the airline will also lease 37 additional A320 neo-family aircraft. Vistara, which currently has 13 Airbus A-320 Ceo and eight A-320 Neos and will get one more Neo this September from the initial order, flies to 22 domestic destinations with over 800 weekly flights.
