We all know that the current scenario is not lucrative for private airlines across the world. Still, we have something to share that will make you have a good laugh.
What happened is that today IndiGo, India’s leading private airline started a conversation while poking Vistara. “Hey @airvistara, not #flyinghigher these days we heard?” IndiGo wrote in the tweet using hashtag #StayingParkedStayingSafe.

Now, you must be wondering what’s funny in this. Well, “Flying higher” is the catchphrase Vistara uses in its publicity campaign.
To this, Vistara replied quickly:
No 😌 @IndiGo6E, these days being on-ground is a wonderful thing. Flying would not be the ‘smart’ choice, what say @goairlinesindia? #StayingParkedStayingSafe

GoAir came to join the convo with something funnier:
“Totally, @airvistara! Staying home is the safe feeling! We can hardly wait till everyone takes to the skies, coz at the moment it’s not like #NowEveryoneCanFly right, @AirAsiaIndian?

Let me tell you that “Now everyone can fly” is the slogan used by AirAsia.
AirAsia India was the next to join this banter tagging SpiceJet and using their popular phrase.
Absolutely @goairlinesindia, for now though, staying at home is the Red. Hot. Spicy thing to do! Isn't that right @flyspicejet?! #StayingParkedStayingSafe

To this, SpiceJet replied:
“@AirAsiaIndian, good to know our thoughts match, like our colours (read red)! Been a while since this bird flew out of her cage. But we’re happy creating a safer tomorrow, today! Right @DelhiAirport”.

Even Delhi airport joined the convo and said:
Agree with you @IndiGo6E @airvistara @goairlinesindia @AirAsiaIndian @flyspicejet, the Indian skies will be coloured with you soon but for now thanks for giving us a reason to smile! Together in the skies, and together on ground too! #WorkFromHub #StayingParkedStayingSafe
— Delhi Airport (@DelhiAirport) April 10, 2020
Finally, IndiGo ended the thread conveying the message of unity.
Stronger to have you with us💕 #StayingParkedStayingSafe #LetsIndiGo

Surely this is one of the epic banters we have seen in recent times and the best part is that it ended in the right way.
