Vistara-Air India merger likely to be completed by mid-2025

The merger of Vistara and Air India is likely to be completed latest by mid-2025 even as all approvals are expected this year.

“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 authorities to see how we can operationalise this (merger). The airline is looking at this year or early next year as the operational merger, or it could stretch through the middle of next year,” Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan said.
