Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines celebrate Air India and Vistara merger
Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines (SIA) tuesday celebrated the successful merger of Air India and Vistara at a symbolic ceremony held at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi, heralding a new era in their deep and longstanding partnership.
The integration of Air India Group’s four airlines into one full-service and one low-cost carrier is a key step in the Vihaan.AI transformation plan, designed to be executed over a five-year period. This positions the Air India Group as a key player in all segments of the Indian market: domestic, international, full-service and low-cost.
With this change, the Group seeks to improve its operational capabilities, expand its customer base and progressively raise service standards, product excellence and traveler experience.

Singapore Airlines continues to be our strategic partner in our aviation journey and we welcome them to Air India”, Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, said.
