From that point of view, the approval of the merger by the board of Singapore Airlines is a big relief for the Tata Group. Because the group plans to bring its 4 separate airlines under one umbrella. As a result, Air India, Vistara, AI Express, and Air Asia India will have no separate existence. Together they will become Air India Limited.
Incidentally, the Tata Group continues to emerge as a potential suitor to acquire Air India in October 2021. Later, in January this year, Tata acquired Air India and Air India Express. However, before this acquisition, Tata already owned Vistara and AirAsia airlines. If the Tata plan goes right, they will bring all their airlines together under the Air India brand.
