New Delhi: Vistara has partnered with Tata Group firm Nelco for in-flight data services, which are expected to be rolled by the full service carrier shortly, according to a senior government official. Nearly five years after starting operations, Vistara — a joint venture between Tatas and Singapore Airlines — is also likely to be the first domestic carrier to provide in-flight connectivity within India. Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash said required spectrum has been allocated for the purpose. “Vistara has tied up with Nelco and they have taken transponder space from ISRO…they had come to us for spectrum allocation which we have done. And they will launch these services very shortly,” he said. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
