Campbell Wilson has stepped down as CEO of Air India amid ongoing challenges for the airline, including persistent financial losses and heightened regulatory scrutiny following a tragic crash in 2022 that claimed 260 lives. His resignation was accepted during a board meeting last week, and he will remain with the company until a successor is appointed. Air India has struggled with delivery delays and safety violations, including operating aircraft without proper airworthiness certificates. The airline's financial situation has deteriorated since Pakistan banned Indian carriers from its airspace, impacting its profitability on key routes. Under Wilson's leadership, appointed in 2022 to revitalize the airline post-privatization by Tata Group, Air India acknowledged the urgent need for improvements in its operational processes and compliance culture. The search for a new CEO is ongoing, with Tata Group's chairman N Chandrasekaran overseeing the transition. Singapore Airlines holds a 25% stake in Air India, further complicating the airline's recovery efforts.
