New player in the India aviation scenario, Vistara, a
joint venture of Tata Sons Ltd and Singapore Airlines Ltd, has signed
inter-line agreements with Singapore Airlines and SilkAir.
In a statement, Vistara said is working on
inter-line sales agreements and other partnerships with a few major
international airlines. An inter-line agreement refers to a pact to issue and
accept tickets for flights that are operated by the partner airlines.
When selling an inter-line ticket, the operating airline’s own flight numbers are used. On the contrary, in the case of code-share agreement, another form of business alliance, refers to a pact of marketing and selling the flights of another airline as it they were the airline’s own flights.

A code-share agreement always consist of two partner
airlines—the operating airline and one marketing airline that places its own
flight number on the partner’s operated flights. Vistara will start operations
on 9 January with Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Ahmedabad and Ahmedabad-Mumbai as its
initial routes.
Vistara also unveiled its tagline—Fly the new
Feeling— encouraging its potential customers to explore the product and feel
the difference. Vistara’s 148-seater Airbus A320-200 will offer three cabin
classes—business (16 seats), premium economy (36 seats), and economy (96
seats).
