Vistara gave this update
Vistara has updated its customers that Club Vistara has decided to join hands with Air India Flying Returns to become Maharaja Club. You will be able to reach Air India after 12th November. Thank you for your understanding and support, because we owe you the best in the world. Both are getting loyalty programs.
17 years of service
However, according to sources, airline officials said that Vistara will shut down from November 12, although its aircraft, routes and crew will continue to serve till at least March. With Vistara's merger with Air India on November 11, the number of full-service carriers in India has dropped from five to one over the past 17 years. This change comes after the liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) norms in 2012. This led to the establishment of Vistara and other foreign-invested airlines.
