Campbell Wilson, the CEO and Managing Director of Air India, officially resigned on Tuesday, leading to the formation of a committee by the airline's board to seek his successor. Wilson will remain in his role until a replacement is appointed. His resignation comes amid scrutiny following a crash in Ahmedabad that resulted in the deaths of 260 people and ongoing financial losses for the airline. Despite these challenges, Air India is pursuing an ambitious strategy involving fleet expansion and service improvements. Since Wilson's appointment in 2022, the airline has merged with Vistara and Air India Express, modernized its systems, and added 100 aircraft to its fleet. Air India currently operates 191 planes and has placed orders for 570 aircraft, with deliveries expected to begin in 2027. The airline aims to enhance its service standards and modernize its fleet to navigate the competitive landscape, especially with the recent resignation of IndiGo's CEO, Pieter Elbers, amid operational challenges.
