We were honoured to see the inaugural flight of Vistara from Mumbai to Mauritius on Sunday 26th of March, marking also the appointment of our sub-brand, Rogers Aviation, as a General Sales Agent (GSA) for Vistara since August 2022. This new route will now be operating with five weekly flights.
This collaboration with Vistara is in continuity with Rogers Aviation’s strategic development and partnerships with international carriers in Mauritius, the Indian Ocean region, and South Africa. The company plans to bring its experience and resources to this new partnership, capitalising on its expertise and vast market coverage to achieve Vistara's growth ambitions in Mauritius.
Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer of Vistara, highlights the strong cultural ties, trade, and bilateral relations between India and Mauritius, making it an important business hub and home to many global financial institutions. The successful launch of this air service using a brand-new A321 Neo aircraft will further aid the growing traffic between the two countries.
“This new partnership is significant for the local aviation sector and for the Group which has a long and proud history of representing major airlines. It represents a unique opportunity to expand our business in the Indian subcontinent, where we already have a presence through our logistics arm, Velogic,”
Philippe Espitalier-Noël, CEO of the Rogers Group.
As a GSA, Rogers Aviation offers a range of services, including sales and marketing, as well as airport services. Its sales and marketing services involve selling air tickets on the Vistara Network and implementing Vistara's marketing strategy in Mauritius.
Rogers Aviation's airport services include commercial supervision of flights at SSR International Airport, ensuring a smooth check-in process for passengers, facilitating CIP (Commercially important persons) passengers, and liaising with ground handling companies and airport authorities on behalf of Vistara.
