Air India CEO Campbell Wilson resigns after Ahmedabad crash, source says

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson has resigned, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday (April 7), as the airline grapples with persistent losses and heightened regulatory scrutiny following a crash last year that killed 260 people. Reuters reported in January that Air India's board was scouting for a new CEO to replace Wilson, a former Singapore Airlines veteran brought in to steer the Indian carrier's turnaround in 2022 after years of decline under government ownership. The airline, which is contending with aircraft delivery delays, has also been reprimanded by regulators for safety lapses, including flying an aircraft eight times without an airworthiness certificate and running planes without checking emergency equipment.
