Vistara evaluating Air India, no decision yet: Chairman

Vistara Chairman Bhaskar Bhat on Monday said that the airline is evaluating to bid for the national carrier Air India.

He added no decision has been taken so far and only after the evaluation is complete, the company would decide on bidding in the disinvestment proces.

“We are evaluating Air India. Which company would not be interested in evaluating a sovereign airline of the country? Whether we bid or not comes later,” Bhat said at an event here.

On the question of whether Vistara or Tata Sons was evaluating the bid for Air India, the Vistara Chairman said: “We (Vistara) are a joint venture.”
