Campbell Wilson resigns as Air India CEO before end of 5-year term

Campbell Wilson has stepped down as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Air India, news agency PTI has reported. Wilson had taken charge as CEO and Managing Director in July 2022, after former Turkish Airlines Chairman Ilker Ayci opted out of the role earlier that year amid controversy.

The Tata Group had completed its acquisition of the airline from the government in January 2022.

Wilson had communicated his intention to resign to the board before formally stepping down. An official statement from Air India on the development was still awaited.

Earlier this year, another source had indicated that the Tata Group had begun searching for a successor, with Wilson’s five-year term originally scheduled to run until 2027.
