Vistara Tuesday said Vinod Kannan will take over as its chief strategy officer from June as the full service carrier prepares to fly overseas.

Kannan has been working at Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA) group, since October 2017.

"As Vistara accelerates its growth and prepares to take the next leap in its journey of becoming a global brand, certain changes have been introduced in the leadership structure.

"Strategy and commercial are cornerstones of any airline's business, and these two areas will be bolstered to ensure focus on key priorities," an airline spokesperson told PTI.

Kannan from the Singapore Airlines group will be joining Vistara next month as chief strategy officer, while Kapoor will remain chief commercial officer, the spokesperson added.

Kannan, who has done his graduation in electrical engineering, has been with SIA group since 2001.

The domestic carrier is preparing to start overseas flights and has also placed orders for a significant number of planes.

In March, Civil Aviation Secretary P S Kharola said Vistara has received the permission to operate international flights.

Vistara, which has 22 aircraft on its fleet, operates around 140 flights every day. The airline commenced commercial operations on January 9, 2015.
