Full service carriers reduced from five to one in 17 years
According to the news, however, airline officials said that although Vistara will be closed from November 12, its aircraft, routes and crew will continue to serve till at least March. With Vistara merging with Air India on November 11, the number of full service carriers in India has dropped from five to one in the last 17 years. This change has happened after the liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) norms in 2012. This led to the establishment of Vistara and other foreign-invested airlines.
