In a historic moment for Indian aviation, the newly merged Air India-Vistara airline launched its inaugural international flight from Doha to Mumbai. This flight symbolizes the unification of two of India’s leading airlines under the Tata Group, setting the stage for an ambitious expansion in global travel. The merger aims to elevate passenger experiences with enhanced connectivity and services while strengthening Air India’s global presence and operational prowess as it emerges as a significant player on the world stage.
Following the merger, Singapore Airlines will hold a 25.1% stake in the expanded Air India group, reinforcing its foothold in the rapidly growing Indian market. The newly merged carrier will operate over 5,600 weekly flights, greatly enhancing its domestic and international connectivity.
Set to be fully operational by the end of 2024, this merger positions Air India as a global aviation powerhouse, strengthening its competitive edge against regional rivals.
