Tata Group starts hunt for Campbell Wilson’s Air India successor

Wilson joined the airline in March 2022 after Tata Group acquired Air India from the government earlier that year. Separately, people familiar with the matter said Tata Group’s low-cost arm, Air India Express, is also expected to see a leadership change, with the tenure of its current chief executive officer (CEO) Aloke Singh set to end around March 2027. The news of the search was earlier reported by The Economic Times.

An Air India spokesperson did not comment on the matter.

These people said preliminary discussions have already started. “The process will take time and could be concluded in the second half of the year,” one of them said, adding that any leadership transition is likely to be visible only towards the end of the year.

“CEO Campbell Wilson is expected to handover the charge to the new appointee before he exits the system,” this person said.
