Air India New CEO: Campbell Wilson to head Air India, Tata Sons seals appointment.
After 69 years, big news has come out about Air India, which came in the bag of Tata Sons. Now the airline company will be headed by Campbell Wilson. Tata Sons issued a statement in this regard on Thursday, saying that Wilson has been appointed as the CEO and Managing Director of Air India.
It is worth noting that after the acquisition, Turkey’s IlkarAyci was first chosen as the CEO of Air India, but due to many controversies, he backtracked at the last moment. After this, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran took over the responsibility. But the search for a CEO to hand over the reins of Air India was on in full swing. Now Tata Sons has appointed 50-year-old Campbell Wilson to this position.
On being appointed as the CEO of Air India, Campbell Wilson said, “It is a great honor for me to lead the prestigious Air India and be part of the Tata Group. Air India is on the cusp of an exciting journey to become one of the best airlines in the world.
According to the report, Wilson has 26 years of experience in the aviation industry. He has rendered his services in many countries of the world.
