The potential merger may provide economies of scale to both Vistara and Air India, as well as open up access to dozens of new slots globally for Singapore Airlines. It may also help Tata Sons consolidate its aviation business balance sheets. Air India and Vistara are expected to retain their individual brand identities post-merger, though eventually, only one brand may remain. Singapore Airlines had stated that India has strong domestic and international traffic flows, which are expected to more than double over the next 10 years. The airline advised shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing or trading in the company's securities. Currently, the Tata group operates four airlines: Air India, Air India Express, AirAsia India, and Vistara.
