Singapore Airlines is set to make an additional investment of Rs 3,194.5 crore in Tata Group-owned Air India post-merger of Vistara in November.
National carrier Air India on Wednesday said that flights operated by Vistara will start using the flight code 'AI2' after the merger of the two airlines next month.
Ahead of the merger, Air India said Vistara experience will remain, and the the flights operated with Vistara aircraft will have numbers starting with the prefix 'AI2'. Vistara's planes, crew and service will continue to operate as before.
The threat call came while the flight was midair. Authorities at the Srinagar airport took all precautionary measures.
Vistara will operate daily flights between the two cities using its A320neo aircraft and will be the only airline to offer the choice of premium economy class on the route, in addition to Business and Economy Class.
Starting from Thursday, Vistara has increased frequencies to Frankfurt and Paris, with six new weekly flights between Delhi and the German city, and five between Delhi and the French capital.
"SIA is currently in confidential discussions with Tata to explore a potential transaction in relation to the securities of Vistara and Air India Ltd, a subsidiary of Tata (the 'Potential Transaction'). The discussions seek to deepen the existing partnership between SIA and Tata, and may include a potential integration of Vistara and Air India," said the Singapore airline in a statement on Thursday.
Amid the ambitious plan of the Tata-owned Air India to raise its market share substantially to at least 30 per cent in the domestic market, there is a buzz within the aviation industry on the possibility of its merger with Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines.
