India's Best Airline is Going Away?? Say Hello (and Goodbye) to VISTARA - Business Class on the 787

9 years ago, India welcomed a new airline - but not just any airline - a premium, full-service airline named Vistara. A joint venture between two formidable companies - TATA Group and Singapore Airlines - Vistara sought to provide travelers a fresh alternative to the dated & dysfunctional Air India and Jet Airways - India's other full service carriers at the time. Passengers were invited to "fly the new feeling" onboard a brand new fleet of Airbus narrowbodies, and, more recently, Dreamliner widebodies - all staffed with crew trained to the highest standards of service. Launching any new airline is difficult - and unfortunately the pandemic hit just as Vistara was taking delivery of its first widebody airplanes - but management's conservative & practical approach to growth meant the carrier was able to survive COVID and ultimately turn a profit for the first time in 2022. Vistara almost certainly had a bright future ahead of it as an independent airline, but the market landscape in India had evolved drastically. TATA had recently regained control of Air India - taking the flag carrier private after 70 years of government ownership. And of course from a business standpoint, merging the two operations would be a no brainer - the combined airline would realize the benefits of scale, shared resources, and less competition... but it would also mean the end of the Vistara brand as we know it. Now of course, the integration process (assuming the merger goes through) will likely take a number of years, but given I was already planning a trip to India for this year... I had to give them a try. So I cordially invite you to fly the new feeling with me on Vistara's FIRST Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Mumbai to London!
