The Tata Group has a lot riding on the success of Air India. The original founder of the airline got it back in 2022 after 67 years of govt ownership. Since then, it has put its might behind shoring up the carrier’s fortunes-from placing a historic order of 470 Airbus and Boeing planes and putting in place a multi-billion dollar 5 year transformation programme, to appointing a top management team with global aviation experience. But legacy issues accumulated over two decades continue to haunt the carrier, even as it fast becomes one player in a fast forming airline duopoly in India. CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson tells host Anirban Chowdhury how he and his team are balancing the current challenges at Air India with its immense future potential.
