A joint venture between Tatas and Singapore Airlines, Vistara might also look at starting medium and long-haul flights, depending on approvals, amid the grounding of Jet Airways.
Vistara announced Friday it has leased six aircraft from Singapore-based BOC Aviation to boost its domestic growth and will deploy them to meet the "sudden drop" in capacity in the market.
The airline, which currently has a fleet of 21 aircraft from A320 neo family, plans to add another 50 such planes.
Following the arrest of the passenger, the airline stated that it does not tolerate abusive or unruly behaviour by passengers.
