Vistara Airlines has reported a profit for the first time and is now preparing for its merger with Air India. CEO Vinod Kannan has said that Vistara will migrate all positives, including policies, processes, knowledge transfer and people, to the new Air India, as well as offering opportunities to employees. The airline plans to expand its fleet to 70 aircraft by the end of 2024, including four Boeing 787 Dreamliners, three Airbus A321s, and eight A320 Neos, and is focusing on longer international routes to destinations such as London, Frankfurt and Paris. The cargo market is not a priority, as the airline is focusing on improving internal capabilities. The airline is cautiously optimistic about the future of the Indian aviation industry, but is aware of cost pressures for airlines and a market that is prone to shocks.
