Air India CEO Pledges Change Post-Accident

In a bid to restore trust and improve safety protocols, Air India's CEO Campbell Wilson addressed the public for the first time since a tragic plane crash in June claimed 260 lives. The incident has placed the airline, owned by the Tata Group, under scrutinous examination.

Speaking at an Aviation India event, Wilson acknowledged the upcoming challenges, citing issues ranging from overlooked emergency equipment to tampered records, as well as crew fatigue management flaws. He emphasized the carrier's commitment to ongoing improvements and its cooperation with investigators.

The airline's struggles don't end there. Geopolitical tensions have led to airspace closures, further impeding performance as Air India works to overcome delayed jet deliveries and enhance on-time operations. The situation marks a particularly taxing year for the carrier, striving to regain stability amidst adversity.
