Air India and Vistara have received approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to integrate their aircraft line maintenance operations, marking a significant step towards operational synergy. This strategic integration will see Vistara's Line Maintenance activities being consolidated under Air India's facilities and scope, which is expected to unify the maintenance resources of both airlines and enhance Air India's technical capabilities.
By leveraging their combined expertise and optimizing processes, resources, and systems, the merger of line maintenance operations between Air India and Vistara aims to ensure greater self-reliance in fleet maintenance and implement industry-leading practices across all MRO operations. The integration is designed to streamline and coordinate the work processes and systems of the technical teams involved, bringing every aspect of maintenance work under one umbrella to bolster on-time performance and enhance schedule integrity. This move will also allow key technical activities related to aircraft and its components to fall under a single integrated scope of work, strengthening the overall capacity and resources of the Engineering team.
