Air India Chief Executive Wilson Tenders Resignation, Mint Says

Air India Chief Executive Officer Campbell Wilson has given notice of his resignation from the Tata Group-owned carrier, according to a local media report. Wilson, whose contract is not set to expire until mid-2027, will hand over his responsibilities after an unspecified transition period, the Mint newspaper reported, citing two unidentified people with direct knowledge of the matter.

Wilson’s reported exit comes as the airline struggles to recover from a deadly plane crash last year and rising costs due to Pakistan, India’s longtime rival, banning Indian carriers from flying through its airspace. The reported resignation also follows the departure last month of competitor IndiGo’s CEO, Pieter Elbers, underscoring the difficult times Indian carriers face as jet fuel becomes costlier and flying routes longer due to the Iran war. The Tata Group has been scouting for a new Air India CEO, Bloomberg News reported in January, with group Chair Natarajan Chandrasekaran holding initial discussions with potential candidates as the conglomerate grew impatient with the airline’s slow recovery.

Wilson joined the airline in 2022 from Scoot, a low-cost carrier owned by Singapore Airlines.
