In its one decade of operations, Vistara made a mark for its product and service quality as India’s foremost full-service carrier, setting itself apart in a market dominated by no-frills airlines. The airline will fly its final flight on Monday before its merges with Tata group’s flagship carrier Air India on Tuesday.

It would not be an understatement to say that Vistara was able to carve a unique space for itself in the mind of the Indian flyer, which is evident from flyers’ reactions on social media, many brimming with nostalgia.

The wheels for the merger were set in motion in 2022 after the tata group acquired Air India from the government. Singapore Airlines, which held a 49 per cent stake in Vistara, will own 25.1 per cent of Air India following the merger.
