Air India, under the leadership of CEO Campbell Wilson, is grappling with numerous challenges, notably stemming from geopolitical tensions and airspace closures. The airline is expected to face a financial hit of Rs 4,000 crore due to the closure of Pakistan's airspace, impacting its North American and European routes.
Despite a recent fatal crash of a Dreamliner and other unprecedented issues like the Israel-Iran conflict and tariff impositions by the US, Wilson remains optimistic. He emphasizes that these hurdles will not derail Air India's mission of becoming a world-class global airline.
The airline, currently operating a fleet of approximately 190 aircraft, is strategizing to navigate these headwinds and maintain its vision of embodying a global presence while retaining its Indian roots.
