The inaugural flight, operated by the advanced Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, took off from Mumbai at 14:35 Hours (IST) and is scheduled to arrive at London Heathrow Airport at 19:55 Hours (BST).

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner of Vistara is well-known for its exceptional features, including comfortable three-class seating, contemporary interiors, wireless connectivity onboard, cutting-edge in-flight entertainment system with live TV, and innovative wellness lighting solution.
