Campbell Wilson has stepped down as the CEO and Managing Director of Air India, effective immediately, amidst the airline's struggle with persistent losses and regulatory scrutiny following a crash in which 260 people died. Wilson had previously indicated his intention to resign in 2026 to Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran in 2024. He will remain in his role until a successor is appointed. Over the past four years, Wilson has overseen significant changes at Air India, including the merger of four airlines and a shift from public to private sector practices. The airline has modernized its systems, launched new products, and added 100 aircraft to its fleet. With a substantial order of nearly 600 aircraft set to be delivered starting in 2027, Wilson believes it is the right time for new leadership to take Air India into its next phase of growth. Chandrasekaran praised Wilson for his leadership during challenging times, including post-COVID supply chain issues and geopolitical challenges.
