Air India Completes Harmonisation of Operating Procedures Ahead of Tata Group Airlines Merger

Air India announced on Monday that it has successfully harmonised operating procedures across key functions for the four Tata Group airlines, marking a crucial step towards the impending merger.

Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Group (51%) and Singapore Airlines (49%), is set to merge into Air India, creating a single full-service carrier. Concurrently, Air India’s subsidiaries, AIX Connect (formerly AirAsia India) and Air India Express, will merge to form a single low-cost airline.

Over the past 18 months, a dedicated team of over 100 members has worked collaboratively to align best practices and establish common operating procedures. This extensive effort will result in the creation of two distinct manuals: one for the full-service carrier Air India and another for the low-cost carrier Air India Express, as stated by Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Air India.
