Singapore Airlines completes merger of Vistara with Air India

It now holds a 25.1% stake in the expanded Air India group.

Singapore Airlines Limited (SIA) has announced the completion of the proposed merger between Vistara, its 49% associated company, and Air India.

With the merger finalised, SIA now holds a 25.1% stake in the newly expanded Air India, which includes Vistara’s operations. Vistara will no longer be classified as an associated company of SIA, while Air India will take on this designation.

SIA confirmed it will proceed with an additional capital injection into Air India, revised to $498 m (INR31,945m). This adjustment does not affect SIA’s 25.1% equity interest in the merged airline, and the targeted issuance date for the additional shares remains November 21, 2024.

The group said it will use its internal cash resources to fund the additional capital injection.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
