Tatas begin flight from Indore after 82 years

Indore: It was a historic moment when Tata owned Vistara airlines started its flight operations from the Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in the Indore-Delhi sector on Saturday.

It was Tata Airlines flight that was the first one to land in the city airport in 1937, and now the Tatas have returned to the city 82 years later, albeit in a different avatar. Tata Airlines was later turned into Air India.

Vistara flight was given water cannon salute on landing at the city airport.
