Tata Sons on Thursday announced the appointment of Campbell Wilson as CEO & MD of Air India. The Air India board approved the appointment, subject to requisite regulatory approvals.
The development comes after the appointment of Turkish Airline’s CEO Ilker Ayci as Air India’ CEO created a stir over his political linkages. The position has been lying vacant since the government handed over the control of the airline in January to Tatas.
Mr. Wilson, 50, is the CEO of Scoot, the wholly owned low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA). He has over 26 years of experience in the aviation industry across full-service and budget carriers.
