Singapore Airlines open to Air India-Vistara synergies post Tata deal

The Tata Group, which is bidding for state-owned Air India, has convinced Singapore Airlines (SIA) to integrate the carrier’s services into the schedule of their joint venture Vistara if it’s successful, said people with knowledge of the matter.

This they said was significant as SIA had turned down the opportunity to join Tata in the Air India bid and had been unenthusiastic about its joint venture partner’s plan to acquire the ailing state-run national carrier as such a move might prove a distraction.
