Air India named former Ethiopian Airlines chief Tewolde Gebremariam as CEO on Wednesday, bringing in an industry veteran to drive its turnaround amid mounting regulatory scrutiny ⁠following last year's deadly crash. Gebremariam transformed Ethiopian Airlines into Africa's largest carrier and guided it through two major crises: the COVID-19 pandemic without ‌government aid and the fatal 2019 Boeing 737 MAX crash. Wilson resigned in April, nearly a year after the fatal crash, as Air India continued to post losses. Singapore Airlines owns about 25% of Air India, with Tata Sons holding the rest. In ‌Air India's annual report released last week, he said the airline's turnaround could take up to a decade, highlighting the scale of the challenge facing its new CEO.
