With community service deeply rooted in our DNA, since inception, Vistara has always strived to support communities in the areas where it operates. And as the organisation grows, we want our communities to grow with us and ensure we grow sustainably. It is this philosophy of empowering communities and protecting the environment that is echoed in ‘Vistara Nurtures’.

Our CSR strategy is centered around, but is not limited to, our focus areas of:

1. Children and Education: Enabling education and wellbeing for children for their holistic development
2. Employability Skills: Boosting entrepreneurship and employability through skill-led programmes for the youth and women in particular
3. Environment and Sustainability: Ensuring environmental sustainability by conserving natural resources and creating an ecological balance in the environment 

Whether it is inspiring young minds, empowering talent, or preserving the planet, as we scale up and grow, we want to keep nurturing the communities we operate in for a better tomorrow.

Sustainable operations

Vistara’s current fleet of Airbus A320neo, Airbus A321neo, and Boeing 787 aircraft are powered by advanced technologies and systems, resulting in reduction of engine noise, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide emissions.

And over the past few years, we have adopted various operational measures including but not limited to electronic flight bags, biodegradable and reusable cutlery, and smart lavatories which are all small strides towards a sustainable future.

Some of Vistara’s flagship CSR projects include:

Book Your Future
