SIA’s Vistara finally ready for take-off after clinching flying permit from regulators

It will soon begin commercial operations in India.

Vistara, a joint venture carrier between Singapore Airlines and Tata Sons, today received the much-awaited Air Operator Permit from Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), India's regulatory authority.

The AOP will allow the airline to begin commercial operations in India. The AOP is a significant milestone as it is the final step in a highly technical and complex compliance process.

Headquartered in New Delhi, Vistara will begin operations with its fleet of brand new Airbus A 320-200’s and will soon make an announcement on the start of sales, routes and schedules.

Over the last few months the Vistara team has been focused on complying with regulatory requirements
for all procedural checks and finally the proving flights to qualify for the AOP.

TATA SIA Airlines Limited, known by the brand name Vistara, is a joint venture between Tata Sons Limited
and Singapore Airlines Limited (SIA) with Tata Sons holding the majority stake of 51% in the company and
SIA holding the remaining 49%.
