During the devastating second wave of the pandemic, Vistara activated its ‘National Relief Program’ and offered complimentary air logistics for transportation of medical equipment across the network. It also welcomed health workers from government organisations to travel free of cost on its domestic network, when travelling on COVID-19 duty.
