Vistara Merges with Air India, Marking End of an Era

The merger creates India's sole full-service carrier as Vistara's brand and operations integrate into Air India.

Vistara's last flight operated on November 11, 2024, as it merges with Air India to form a single entity under the Air India brand.
Singapore Airlines, which held a 49% stake in Vistara, will now own 25.1% of the merged Air India entity.
The merger aims to streamline Tata Group's aviation assets and enhance Air India's network and fleet capabilities.
Air India is implementing measures to ensure a smooth transition for Vistara passengers, including rebranding and loyalty program integration.
The merger reduces India's full-service carriers to one, following the decline of other premium airlines like Jet Airways and Kingfisher.
