The Air India Group has successfully completed the operational integration and legal merger of Air India and Vistara, creating a major full-service carrier and a significant milestone in the airline’s post-privatisation transformation. This merger follows the earlier consolidation of the Group`s low-cost carriers, Air India Express and AIX Connect (formerly Air Asia India), which took place on October 1.

The merger is a key component of the Air India Group’s ongoing transformation programme, `Vihaan.AI`, aimed at establishing the airline as a world-class global aviation player with a distinctly Indian identity. The Group now operates a unified network with over 8,300 weekly flights across 312 routes, connecting more than 100 domestic and international destinations. The merged fleet includes 300 aircraft.
