After nine years of serving as one of India’s leading premium airlines, Vistara operated its final flight on November 11, 2024, as part of its merger with Air India. The farewell was marked by the airline’s unique tradition of warmth and hospitality, with passengers and crew experiencing an emotional moment as the song “Kal Ho Naa Ho” played during the final boarding and landing.
Vistara, which began as a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, became widely appreciated for its customer-centric services, revolutionizing domestic air travel standards. This merger reflects Tata Group’s broader vision to streamline its aviation sector by consolidating Vistara under the Air India brand, creating a stronger unified airline with an expanded fleet and destinations.
Social media saw an outpouring of memories from loyal passengers and Vistara staff alike, all paying tribute to the airline’s commitment to exceptional service and safety. Many expressed nostalgia for the brand’s distinctive touches and shared the impact Vistara had on Indian aviation. This farewell serves as both a close to Vistara’s independent operations and an optimistic beginning for Air India’s expansion.
