Air India's Incoming Chief Faces Stricter Benchmarks on Safety and Cost Control

Air India Chairman N. Chandrasekaran outlined four key priorities for the airline's next phase: safety, customer trust, reliable operations, and tighter cost control. The announcement came during a town hall marking the leadership transition from outgoing CEO Campbell Wilson to incoming chief Tewolde Gebremariam. The airline has undergone a major overhaul since Tata Group took over in 2022, including fleet expansion and the Vistara merger, but now faces higher expectations for performance and profitability.
