Air India CEO Campbell Wilson announced his resignation effective in a few months, citing a four‑year term.
He warned his successor will confront operational hurdles including a Pakistan airspace ban, Iran war fallout, and a strong U.S. dollar.
Singapore Airlines executive Vinod Kannan and Air India commercial head Nipun Aggarwal are the leading candidates for the CEO role.
Air India has posted heavy losses and suffered image damage from multiple safety lapses, intensifying the transition challenge.
