Air India has confirmed that CEO Campbell Wilson is resigning, with a committee launching to find a successor. Wilson, who joined in 2022, had signaled his intent to step down in 2024

## Summary

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson has resigned, ending a four-year tenure during which the airline underwent significant transformation following privatization. The airline confirmed that Wilson conveyed his intention to step down in 2024 and will remain in the role until a successor is announced. Wilson, originally from New Zealand, previously served as the founding CEO of Scoot (Singapore Airlines' low-cost carrier) and held roles at Singapore Airlines since 1996. His tenure saw the reconfiguration of Air India's narrow-body fleet, though long-haul cabin upgrades were delayed. The airline also navigated airspace closures and the crash of flight AI171, recording a historic loss last year. This resignation follows closely on the heels of IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers' departure, highlighting a period of management turnover in major Indian carriers. Speculation is ongoing regarding his replacement, with potential candidates including former American Airlines CEO Doug Parker or former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce
