The crew of Vistara Airlines made a video of them bidding goodbye to the passengers aboard the airline’s last flight prior to its merger with Tata-owned Air India. When X user Aman Gulati posted the video on X, it struck a chord with Vistara’s loyal customer base and aviation enthusiasts, and went viral.

This merger represents the largest consolidation in Indian aviation since 2006-07, when Indian Airlines merged with Air India, Air Sahara joined Jet Airways, and Air Deccan was incorporated into Kingfisher Airlines.

The new 'Air India’ will operate flights with airline code ‘AI’ while Vistara aircraft will have a four-digit flight number beginning with the digit “2”
