Air India has announced Campbell Wilson has resigned as CEO after four years in the role. Read More » Wilson will continue to lead the airline until a successor is appointed. "The four years since Air India’s privatisation has seen the acquisition and successful merger of four airlines, an evolution from public to private sector practices along with renewal of the leadership team, workforce, culture and ways of operating," Wilson said. The airline executive noted the airline has also modernised its systems, launched new products, improved service standards and embarked on a fleet upgrade involving refurbishing existing aircraft and taking delivery of new aircraft, among other achievements. "With these foundational blocks now settling and a brief window until deliveries from the nearly 600-strong aircraft orderbook commence in earnest from 2027, the time is right for me to hand over the reins for the next phase of Air India’s rise," Wilson said. "It has been a true honour to play a small part in this latest chapter of Air India’s long history, and I will continue to be an enthusiastic supporter of this wonderful organisation and its people." Air India chair, N Chandrasekaran, said: "On behalf of the board, I wish to record my deep appreciation for Campbell’s leadership and contribution over the past four years. Campbell and his team have demonstrated tenacity and resolve and have aligned an organization drawn from many backgrounds behind the shared goal of building the new Air India that is now emerging."
