Vistara spokesperson informed the news agency PTI that the airline is observing a marginal decline in traffic in February. The airline spokesperson said,“After a sharp decline in demand for air travel, due to the surge in COVID-19 numbers and restrictions imposed by various state governments, we are observing a marginal increase in traffic in February compared to the previous month.”
“However, in view of the volatility, we continue to closely monitor the situation and adjust capacity to demand,” the spokesperson added.
Vistara customers complained of difficulties in getting in touch with customer care as well. ISRO scientist Shibashish Prusty said that his New Delhi-Bhubaneshwar flight got cancelled and that he is unable to get through to the flight’s customer care.</p

You have cancelled a ticket from New Delhi to Bhubaneswar on 5th February.
Your customer care number is a cheap gimmick I think .No one responds and It's been busy since 48 hrs
Please refund the full amount asap.

Another user Hemanth DP tweeted, “This is rather un-customer friendly actions by you Vistara! Of late CS has dropped quite badly. No response on repeated complaints! Even as Platinum it’s tough to get through to you. Please pull up fast! Tough to gain lost loyalty.”</p
