Bhubaneswar: Vistara’s last flight UK 782 departed from Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar for Delhi on Monday night, marking the end of the airline’s operations from the state ahead of its formal integration with Air India.

The flight took off from Bhubaneswar at 8.30 pm and landed at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport at 10.55 pm.

With the merger on Monday night, Vistara flight code on Tuesday changed from ‘UK’ to ‘AI2XXX’.

Earlier, Vistara thanked passengers for their continued support. “Thank you for being part of this unforgettable journey and showering us with your #VistaraLove. We will forever cherish these memories. Please follow @airindia for all the latest updates,” it said in a post on X.

IndiGo also tweeted a heartfelt farewell to rival Vistara, which is set to become a formidable competitor to the budget carrier currently dominating the Indian market. ”As an unforgettable legacy takes its final flight, a new journey on the horizon awaits. Goodbye, @airvistara. Here’s #ToLimitlessPossibilities ahead,” IndiGo wrote on X, along with a video of its final flight.

Vistara was launched in 2015 as a joint venture between Tata Sons (51%) and Singapore Airlines (49%). The merger with Air India, which is also owned by Tata Group, is a strategy to streamline its aviation assets. Vistara’s routes and schedules will remain unchanged, and the in-flight experience, including products and services, will continue to be offered by the same crew. Air India has allocated additional resources across various touchpoints in India and is collaborating with partner airports to facilitate the transition, according to ANI.

Over the past few months, 270,000 customers who had booked Vistara flights have been migrated to Air India and informed of the change, it added.
