The airline said it had to cancel and delay a significant number of flights, owing to "various operational reasons" and due to "high utilisation of resources", there was limited room to cope with contingencies.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has sought a detailed report from Vistara regarding flight cancellations and major delays, with the airline having cancelled or delayed over 100 flights in the past week.
Vistara was plagued with sudden mass sick leave reported by pilots that impacted its flight operations across India leading to the cancellation and delay of flights.
