Air India Safeguards Vistara's Service Proposition

14 Nov 2024 CW Team

In a strategic move following the merger of Air India and Vistara, the airline is taking proactive steps to preserve and enhance Vistara’s premium service offering. This decision comes as the two airlines consolidate operations under the Tata Group, aiming to maintain Vistara's strong reputation for quality service, especially in the full-service segment.

Vistara, known for its customer-first approach, will continue to offer its distinct service experience, which includes luxurious cabin classes, attentive in-flight services, and a strong focus on passenger comfort. As part of the merger integration process, Air India plans to retain Vistara’s flagship services, such as its Business Class and premium cabin features, to ensure a seamless transition for passengers accustomed to the high standards of service that Vistara is known for.

Air India intends to integrate both brands while preserving Vistara’s premium positioning, which appeals to high-end travellers, especially those on international routes. As part of this strategy, Air India will align Vistara’s top-tier offerings with its own, creating a more competitive product lineup for both domestic and international markets.

The airline also plans to introduce additional enhancements to the Vistara brand, including a refreshed in-flight entertainment system and improved loyalty programs to increase its appeal in the evolving aviation market. This step is critical as the airline looks to solidify its position as a leading player in India’s competitive aviation sector.
