Vistara, a joint venture between the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, recently completed its eighth year of operations in India. The full-service carrier connects destinations across India and several international markets. Tata Group announced its intention to merge Vistara with Air India in a bid to consolidate all its airlines and capture a larger market share both in India and internationally. The merger is expected to be completed by March 2024, and Singapore International Airlines will invest Rs 2,058.5 crore in Air India as part of the transaction. As part of its aviation business transformation plan, Tata Group will operate only two airlines: a premium full-service carrier and a low-cost carrier. Vistara’s expansion plans include increasing its fleet to 70 planes by mid-2024, with the addition of seven Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners for long-haul operations. Vistara has also launched several initiatives, such as in-flight Wi-Fi, on-demand TV, and sustainable aviation fuel usage to reduce CO2 emissions.
