Passengers have taken to social media to share their “last flight” experiences and their long-standing emotional connect with Vistara as the airline prepares for its integration with Air India on Monday. Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, will fully merge with Air India, also owned by Tata Group. “Wrapped up my last flight on @airvistara before its merger with @airindia, set to complete in two days.
Filled with nostalgia for the great flights and excellent service that made Vistara India’s best airline. Wishing them all the best for this new chapter!” posted passenger Chirag Naik on X. Another user, Brown Sahiba, shared on X, “Really tragic.
What a great airline and product Vistara was. Mergers are always scary — and one brand always dies. In this case, it will be Vistara.
Reminds me of the last flight I took on Jet Airways, the evening before they stopped flying for good. Sad to see good brands die.” Passengers have been posting in-flight photos with Vistara, describing it as one of the most luxurious airline experiences they’ve had.
To ensure a smooth transition for customers, the airlines have made comprehensive arrangements on the ground. After the merger, Vistara flights will be operated by Air India and identified by a special four-digit Air India code starting with the digit “2.” For example, flight UK 955 will become AI 2955, making it easier for customers to identify Vistara flights on the Air India website after.
