Vistara is anticipating an operational merger with Air India by mid-2025, in addition to its expectations of receiving legal approvals for the same by the mid-2024, the full-service carrier’s CEO Vinod Kannan said at a press briefing on Monday.
“We believe all the approvals from a legal perspective should come through sometime in the first half of this year. From an operational perspective, we are working with the authorities to see how we can operationalise this (merger). The airline is looking at this year or early next year as the operational merger date, or it could stretch through the middle of next year,” Kannan said.
