The airline's Mumbai-Delhi service (UK 986) and Delhi-Singapore route (UK 115) were its last flights under the Vistara brand before its operational merger with Air India on November 12, marking the end of a significant chapter. "It's a mixed feeling. We at Vistara are excited to be a part of Air India but Vistara was our identity and will always remain our pride," a Vistara official said, capturing the bittersweet sentiment surrounding the merger.
Launched in January 2015 as a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, Vistara quickly established itself as a premium carrier, notably becoming the first domestic airline to introduce Premium Economy class - a move that helped cement its position in the market vacated by the collapse of Jet Airways.
