Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines has celebrated the successful merger of Air India and Vistara at an event in New Delhi.

The merger consolidates the four airlines under the Air India Group, which will now operate one full-service airline and one low-cost carrier as part of the Vihaan.AI transformation program.

The new Air India Group operates a fleet of 300 aircraft, covering 55 domestic and 48 international destinations. With 312 routes and 8,300 weekly flights, the airline also offers global connectivity to over 800 destinations through more than 75 codeshare partners. The combined workforce exceeds 30,000 employees.

"This week’s merger between Air India and Vistara is an important milestone in our commitment to transform Air India into a world-class global airline," said Tata Sons Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran.

"The SIA Group will support the ongoing transformation of the enlarged Air India Group, offering our stewardship and expertise where possible," Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong said. "We are focused on helping to restore Air India to its leading position in the Indian aviation market, and creating an airline Group that everyone in India can be proud of."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
