Vistara said the flights will be operated as part of the bilateral transport bubble agreement between India and France.

Full-service airline Vistara on September 23 announced direct flights between Delhi and Paris, starting November 7 later this year.

The round-trip fare on the Delhi to Paris route is Rs 40,499 for an economy-class ticket. On the opposite route (Paris to Delhi and back), the round-trip fare is 560 euros or around Rs 48,000.

The carrier will operate flights twice a week between the two cities - on Wednesdays and Sundays. Vistara will use the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft for the flights.
