Tata Sons has appointed Campbell Wilson as the chief executive officer and managing director of Air India, subject to regulatory approvals.
Wilson, 50, is the CEO of Scoot, the wholly-owned low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines. He has 26 years of aviation industry expertise across both full service and low-cost airlines, it added.
"I am delighted to welcome Campbell to Air India. He is an industry veteran having worked in key global markets cutting across multiple functions," Tata Sons and Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran said. "Air India would benefit from his added experience of having built an airline brand in Asia. I look forward to working with him in building a world-class airline."
In February, Tata Sons had announced the appointment of former chairman of Turkish Airlines Ilker Ayci as the CEO and MD of Air India. But he declined to take up the position amid controversies over his views related to India.
