What does the code change mean?
After the merger, Vistara will be run by Tata Group owned Air India. Therefore, the Vistara code will change from November 12. Now AI2 will be installed in Vistara’s code. That is, if Vistara flight code is UK 955 then it will become AI 2955. This has been done for the ease of functioning of the airline.
