As the Air India-Vistara merger approaches, significant updates have been announced, including new flight codes for Vistara aircraft, integration of loyalty programs, and assurances that Vistara’s in-flight services will remain unchanged. Learn more about what this merger means for travellers.
Air India has announced key updates as the merger with Vistara nears, including changes to flight codes and loyalty programs, marking a significant step towards consolidating their airline operations under one brand.
New Flight Codes for Vistara Aircraft
Starting November 12, 2024, Vistara aircraft will transition to a new identification system under Air India. Vistara’s current flight code ‘UK’ will be replaced with a new code ‘AI2’.
This means all Vistara flights will be identified by a four-digit Air India code beginning with the number ‘2’. For example, Vistara’s UK 955 flight will be rebranded as AI 2955, streamlining the booking process for customers across both airlines.
Loyalty Program Integration
As part of the merger, Club Vistara, Vistara’s frequent flyer program, will be integrated into Air India’s Flying Returns program. This shift is expected to offer passengers more benefits and expanded redemption options as both airlines combine their fleets and networks.
