Tata group airline Air India on Tuesday announced the resignation of its CEO and MD, Campbell Wilson. According to a statement, since informing Chairman N Chandrasekaran in 2024 of his plan to step down in 2026, Wilson has been preparing Air India’s leadership for a smooth transition. Wilson will remain in the role until the airline puts in place a successor for his role.
He has been serving as CEO and MD of the private sector airline since July 25, 2022.
“The four years since Air India’s privatisation has seen the acquisition and successful merger of four airlines, an evolution from public to private sector practices along with renewal of the leadership team, workforce, culture and ways of operating," said Wilson. 
The outgoing CEO also said it has seen the complete modernisation of systems, the launch of new physical products, and the deployment of elevated service standards on ground and in the air, as well as 100 additional aircraft added to the fleet.
"The full interior refit of legacy narrowbody aircraft has all-but been completed, with deliveries of widebody aircraft with new custom-designed interiors now underway," he said. 
<h2>It's been a true honour to play a small part in the latest chapter of Air India’s long history: Campbell Wilson</h2>
"Critical enabling infrastructure including South Asia’s largest training academy, two flight simulator facilities, a flying school and a greenfield maintenance repair and overhaul base has also been initiated to support the scale, standards and ambition of the new Air India," added Wilson. 
He also said that with these foundational blocks now settling and a brief window until deliveries from the nearly 600-strong aircraft orderbook commence in earnest from 2027, the time is right for him to hand over the reins for the next phase of Air India’s rise.
"It has been a true honour to play a small part in this latest chapter of Air India’s long history, and I will continue to be an enthusiastic supporter of this wonderful organization and its people.”
<h2>What Air India Chairman said</h2>
Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran said that on behalf of the company's board, "I wish to record my deep appreciation for Campbell’s leadership and contribution over the past four years".
"In addition to the progress mentioned above, it is also worth acknowledging the numerous external challenges navigated by the Air India team, including prolonged post-Covid supply chain constraints that have impacted delivery of new aircraft and retrofit programs as well as major geopolitical and other headwinds," said the chairman. 
Chandrasekaran also said that Campbell and his team have "demonstrated tenacity and resolve and have aligned an organisation drawn from many backgrounds behind the shared goal of building the new Air India that is now emerging".
