Vistara (Delhi International) Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer, Sanjiv Kapoor, says the carrier is considering branching into the regional commuter carrier business using 70-seater aircraft.

Speaking to DNA India, Kapoor said the subsidiary, tentatively named Vistara Express (Delhi International) would focus on feeding traffic from smaller Tier II and III towns into larger metropolitan hubs such as Mumbai International, Bengaluru International, Delhi International, and Srinagar.

No firms plans have yet been devised and the project is still only a concept, he added.

A 49/51 joint venture between Singapore Airlines (SQ, Singapore Changi) and India's Tata Group, Vistara is a full-service carrier operating eleven A320-200s on flights to eighteen destinations across India.
