Vistata chief executive officer, Vinod Kannan, on Thursday assured employees in an internal email that the “worst is behind us” adding that the operations have stabilised.
In a newsletter, Kanan told the staff that the airline has successfully restored operations by around 25-30 daily flights, which is about 10 per cent of the capacity. He said the company now working on the plans for May 24 and beyond.
While acknowledging that things should have been planned better, Kannan said it has been a “learning experience”.
“The worst is behind us and we have stabilised our operations… (Reasons for disruptions included) ATC delays, bird hits, and maintenance activities… We were stretched in our pilot rosters and there was not enough resilience to withstand injects that we would otherwise have weathered. We could and should have planned better. This has been a learning experience for us which we will review thoroughly,” Kanan said in the newsletter.
He also said it has been a challenging start to the new financial year and the airline faced significant operational disruption from March 31 to April 2.
