Indian airline Vistara, co-owned by SIA, cancels flights as it struggles with crew shortage
straitstimes.com/business/indian-airline-vistara-co-owned-by-sia-cancels-flights-as-it-struggles-with-crew-shortage
Quick Glance: Airline Pilot Crisis
- The pilot crisis at Vistara has resulted in numerous flight cancellations and significant delays, potentially damaging the reputation of a premium airline in India.
