Campbell Wilson, the CEO and Managing Director of Air India, has announced his resignation, which will take effect once a successor is appointed. Wilson, who took charge in 2022 after the airline's privatization, has overseen a transformative period for Air India, including the merger of four airlines, the addition of 100 new aircraft, and the modernization of its service standards. In his resignation letter, he highlighted the establishment of critical infrastructure, such as South Asia's largest training academy and new maintenance facilities, as foundational for the airline's future.
