Vistara goes green as the full-service carrier is mulling to remove the usage of 200 million plastic water bottles from its flights. With an aim to reduce the usage of plastic and single-use plastic, Vistara has implemented an initiative on Delhi-Mumbai flights. The initiative will be extended to all flights across the airline’s network.
Under this initiative, Vistara will serve mineral water in environment-friendly paper cups instead of providing Economy Class customers with plastic bottles. Vistara has fixed a target of reducing single-use plastic usage up to 50 per cent.
Vistara has said that eliminating the use of bottled water is a major challenge. It cited the non-availability of non-plastic alternative for individual units of water as the reason.
