The Vistara-Air India merger, which recently received the green light from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), has signalled a significant consolidation in the Indian aviation sector. The merger aims to combine the strengths of both airlines without grounding any aircraft, ensuring uninterrupted services for passengers.

“With the approval from NCLT, the intricate process of merging Air India and Vistara is set to commence. One of the crucial steps in this merger is the transfer of crew members from Vistara to Air India. The integration will involve nearly 7,000 Vistara employees who have been identified to shift to Air India. This process is expected to start soon, highlighting the commitment to a smooth transition for both the staff and the airline’s operations,” said a source from Air India.
