As Vistara has announced the discontinuation of ticket sales for travel beyond November 11 following its merger announcement with Air India, the full-service airline on Friday said those who have already booked tickets for travel November 12 onwards will have their tickets transferred to Air India.
“All customers who have already booked with Vistara for travel 12-November-2024 onwards will have their tickets transferred to Air India and will soon receive communication via email and SMS regarding this change,” Vistara said in a statement.
It also said starting September 3, 2024, flights will progressively not be available for bookings for travel beyond November 11, 2024, 23:59 pm. All flights thereafter will be operated by Air India and can be booked via the Air India website or mobile app.

With regulatory approvals in place, Air India chief Campbell Wilson on Friday said November 12 has been set as the date for the movement of aircraft and crew of Vistara to Air India.
Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, is getting merged with Air India. Post merger, the Singapore carrier will have a 25.1 per cent stake in Tata Group-owned Air India.
The government has approved the foreign direct investment by Singapore Airlines as part of the merger.
In a message to the staff on Friday, Wilson said they are now embarking on the final stretch of the long and complicated merger process. The merger was announced in November 2022.
