NEW DELHI: Air India appointed former Ethiopian Airlines Group head Tewolde Gebremariam on Wednesday (Aug 5) as its chief executive officer, to steer the carrier after a turbulent period. Tewolde succeeds Campbell Wilson, who resigned after leading the airline since its return to Tata Group ownership in 2022. Tewolde led Ethiopian Airlines Group for more than a decade. Air India praised his experience in managing large-scale airline transformations. Since Tata Group regained control of the formerly state-owned airline in 2022, it has embarked on an ambitious revival, placing record aircraft orders, upgrading its ageing fleet and integrating Air India with other group airlines.
