Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran has formed an interim committee to manage the airline as it continues the search for a new CEO following the impending exit of Campbell Wilson. The committee includes senior executives from Air India and former top aviation ministry official Pradeep Singh Kharola, according to livemint.com.
The interim committee was established to address ongoing challenges faced by Air India during this leadership transition. Chandrasekaran will lead the group, which aims to ensure operational stability and tackle financial and safety issues while the CEO recruitment process proceeds. The formation of this committee was reported on July 9, 2026, by livemint.com.
This move comes at a critical time for Air India, which has been navigating significant operational and financial hurdles. The airline's leadership change follows Campbell Wilson's resignation, highlighting the importance of steady governance. The interim committee's role is to maintain continuity and manage the airline’s strategic priorities until a permanent CEO is appointed.
The CEO search is ongoing, with the interim committee overseeing Air India's affairs in the meantime. The airline's next major update is expected once the new CEO is appointed, a development that will be closely watched by industry stakeholders and investors, as reported by livemint.com.
