Bhubaneswar, Nov 12: Vistara's last flight from Odisha's Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) took off for Delhi on Monday night, marking the end of the airline's operations from the state ahead of its merger with Air India.
The flight, UK 782, departed from BPIA, Bhubaneswar at 8.30 pm, and landed at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport at 10.55 pm.
This flight was one of the final departures before the full merger of Vistara with Air India.
Ahead of its merger, Vistara thanked passengers for their continued support. "Thank you for being part of this unforgettable journey and showering us with your #Vistara Love. We will forever cherish these memories. Please follow @airindia for all the latest updates," Vistara said in a post on X.
Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, will fully merge with Air India, which is also owned by Tata Group.
To ensure a seamless transition for customers, the airlines have made comprehensive arrangements on the ground. After the merger, Vistara flights will be operated by Air India and identified by a special four-digit Air India code starting with the digit "2."
For example, flight UK 955 will become AI 2955, making it easier for customers to identify Vistara flights on the Air India website after November 12.
Vistara's routes and schedules will remain unchanged, and the in-flight experience, including products and services, will continue to be offered by the same crew.
Air India has allocated additional resources across various touch points in India and is collaborating with partner airports to facilitate the transition. Measures include help desk kiosks at curbside areas before terminal entry in hub and metro city airports.
