Vistara Survey, Tests Ahead of Air India Merger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved Vistara’s merger with Air India. This approval will facilitate the alignment of the two airlines’ networks and schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full-scale merger is projected to be completed by the following June, contingent upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory clearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A uniform salary structure and seniority list have been established for pilots <\/a>across all Tata group-affiliated airlines. Vistara has already conducted town hall meetings to elucidate the integration process for seniority lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are commencing the fitment process for the remaining staff within the organization. Our primary objective is to ensure that every member of our staff finds a meaningful role within the integrated entity. This procedure is designed to achieve the best possible fit for both the staff and the organization in this context.”<\/p>\nVinod Kannan, CEO of Vistara, in a staff email sent on Friday.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Vistara has enlisted the assistance of consulting firm Mercer for the fitment process. Subsequently, the airline currently employs approximately 5,500 individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the previous month, Vistara initiated a survey to gather input from its staff regarding the culture it aims to cultivate within the combined organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kannan explained, “This is a pulse check of the current culture at Vistara and an opportunity for you to provide input on the culture that we want to instill and promote within the integrated organization.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, commenced operations in 2015 and boasts a fleet of 61 aircraft, including Airbus <\/a>A320Neos and Boeing <\/a>787-9 planes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Air India operates 116 aircraft and has another 470 planes on order, scheduled for delivery over the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A unified seniority list has been established for pilots across all Tata group-affiliated airlines. With the CCI approval, we now anticipate that our pilots will be able to transition to Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 aircraft,” remarked a captain from Vistara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
