Air India has appointed former Ethiopian Airlines Group chief Tewolde Gebremariam as its next Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Campbell Wilson, who announced his resignation in April. The airline said it conducted a global search, evaluating both internal and external candidates before selecting Gebremariam. Widely credited with transforming Ethiopian Airlines into one of the world's leading carriers, he takes charge at a pivotal time as Air India pursues an ambitious expansion and fleet modernisation programme. The Tata-owned airline continues to navigate financial challenges and external headwinds while seeking to strengthen its global competitiveness and accelerate its long-term turnaround under new leadership.
