Tata Sons have said that Air India and Vistara will be combined into a single airline. Singapore Airlines will have a 25.1% stake in the new company.

As part of the deal, Singapore Airlines (SIA) will invest more than 2,000 crores in Air India, according to news reports.

Air India, Vistara, AirAsia India, and Air India Express will all be part of the bigger Air India group. All of the airlines are expected to merge into one company by March 2024.

This depends on whether or not the merger is approved by the government agencies in charge of such things.

Key reasons why airlines merge?

• Due to the industry’s difficult previous several years, many of the world’s top airlines are combining their operations.
• Mergers are also regarded as the quickest way for airlines to minimise costs while preserving a competitive advantage.
• In addition to flying, airlines incur administrative tasks, aircraft support services, etc.
• Combining these two operations nearly halves their costs.
