Following the integration of Vistara earlier this month, Air India is optimising five domestic routes that will prioritise deployment of its narrow-body cabin products.

Beginning December 1, 2024, this will see all flights between the following domestic cities operated with a Vistara A320-series aircraft.

1.     Delhi and Mumbai

2.     Delhi and Bengaluru

3.     Delhi and Hyderabad

4.     Mumbai and Bengaluru

5.     Mumbai and Hyderabad

Air India will also optimise flight schedules so that flight departures are spread out throughout the day, without reducing frequency.

Campbell Wilson, chief executive officer and managing director, Air India, said: "The merger of Vistara into Air India has unlocked many new opportunities to improve our customer offering. By combining the strengths of both full-service carriers, we are able to consolidate our best narrow-body offering on routes where there is desire for a high-frequency, full-service product. We will progressively expand the coverage to more routes as Air India inducts new aircraft and completes the retrofit of our legacy narrow-body fleet during 2025.”
