Full-service carrier to be known as Air India post Vistara merger

Air India chief Campbell Wilson on Monday said the full-service carrier post the merger of Vistara will be known as Air India, which is much more recognised outside the country as the group works on becoming a significant international aviation player.

While the resultant full-service carrier will be known as Air India, Wilson emphasised that efforts will be made to retain some of the “Vistara heritage in that new manifestation”.

Since taking over the loss-making Air India in January last year, Tata Group has been working on transforming the airline group and has announced that Vistara will be merged with itself, while AIX Connect, earlier known as AirAsia India, is getting integrated with Air India Express.
