Air India appoints former Ethiopian Airlines chief as CEO

Air India has appointed Campbell Wilson as its new chief executive officer and managing director. Wilson, who previously led Singapore Airlines' low-cost carrier Scoot and served as CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, will take on the role as the Tata Group-owned airline seeks to turn around its operations.

His appointment marks a significant step in Air India's revival plan. The airline has been struggling with substantial financial losses for years. The Tata Group acquired Air India in January 2022 and has been working to implement a comprehensive transformation strategy.

Wilson brings extensive experience in the aviation industry, having held various leadership positions. His tenure at Ethiopian Airlines, one of Africa's leading carriers, and his experience with Scoot are expected to be invaluable as he steers Air India toward profitability and growth. The airline aims to leverage his expertise to modernize its fleet, improve customer service, and expand its network.
