Air India-Vistara airline merger gets the go-ahead
The Competition Commission of India has rubber stamped the airline merger of Air India and Vistara.
It gave the green light for the integration of Tata Group’s two full service airline brands.
Vistara was a joint venture between Tata and Singapore Airlines Group.
SIA group has a 49% stake.
The airline merger includes the ‘acquisition of certain shareholding by Singapore Airlines in Air India subject to compliance of voluntary commitments’ the competition regulator said.

Vistara launched operations back in 2015.
