Air India CEO Campbell Wilson resigns

Air India chief executive officer (CEO) Campbell Wilson has resigned from his position, sources told ANI.The airline has been grappling with persistent losses and increased regulatory scrutiny following a crash last year that killed 260 people.Campbell Wilson took over as Air India’s chief executive and managing director in July 2022, joining the airline after a 26-year career with Singapore Airlines, where he held several senior roles across the mainline carrier and its wholly owned low-cost subsidiary, Scoot.During his tenure, one of the most complex aspects of Air India’s transformation, the integration of Vistara into the airline, was completed without disruption. The carrier also pursued an ambitious fleet expansion and, on several high-traffic metro routes, managed to surpass market leader IndiGo.However, progress on the broader overhaul was significantly slowed by persistent global supply chain disruptions. These challenges delayed the delivery of new aircraft and postponed the refurbishment of older planes, limiting the pace of the airline’s transformation.The setbacks also weighed on operational performance, with service quality and punctuality coming under increasing pressure.
