For those unversed, 'Flying Higher' is the catchphrase that Vistara uses in its publicity campaigns.
Vistara didn't waste any time in replying to Indigo and also included GoAir in the conversation.
"No u00f0u009fu0098u008c @IndiGo6E, these days being on-ground is a wonderful thing. Flying would not be the ‘smart’ choice, what say @goairlinesindia? #StayingParkedStayingSafe," it wrote.

GoAir futhur included Air Asia in the banter and wrote, "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?"

Malaysian low-cost airline, AirAsia uses the slogan 'Now everyone can fly."
Air Asia India tagged Spicejet too and used the catchphrase 'Red. Hot. Spicy'
Absolutely @goairlinesindia, for now though, staying at home is the Red. Hot. Spicy thing to do! Isn't that right @flyspicejet?! #StayingParkedStayingSafe

SpiceJet replied promptly: “@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”.

Indigo finally put an end to the conversation and said, "Stronger to have you with usu00f0u009fu0092u0095 #StayingParkedStayingSafe #LetsIndiGo."
