TATA GROUP AIRLINES’ MERGER GETS DGCA NOD
The Tata Group on Monday got aviation regulator DGCA’s nod for merging Vistara into Air India and erstwhile AirAsia India into AI Express. Now only the nod for foreign investment by partner Singapore Airlines into AI is needed to meet the target of completing the integration by the year-end. With this, the group says it has “concluded the harmonisation of operating procedures across its key functions, including harmonisation of the supporting manuals across all four carriers.”
AI CEO-MD Campbell Wilson said: “This is an important milestone in the merger of the Tata Group airlines and we are grateful for the support received from the Ministry of Civil Aviation in terms of timely clearances for the merger process.” Wilson said DGCA had guided their teams with a safety-first change management approach, aligning with the safety-first priorities of the Tata Group.
