Air India has terminated over 1,000 employees in the last three years due to ethical breaches, as stated by CEO Campbell Wilson. These breaches include misuse of the Employee Leisure Travel (ELT) system and allowing excess baggage without charges. The airline, which currently employs around 24,000 staff, is implementing strict cost-cutting measures amid significant financial challenges, with projected losses of over ₹22,000 crore (approximately $2.65 billion USD) by March 2026. Wilson noted that hundreds of employees are terminated annually for non-compliance, stressing the need for staff to adhere to ethical standards even when not monitored. The airline has also detected discrepancies involving more than 4,000 employees in its leisure travel policy and has begun corrective actions, including penalties for violations. Wilson warned that the upcoming year could be particularly challenging if the situation does not improve.
