Air New Zealand Appoints Former Air India CEO Campbell Wilson to Board
Air New Zealand will appoint former Air India CEO Campbell Wilson and former CFO Robert McDonald as directors on its board, effective September 24. Wilson, a New Zealand native with over 30 years in aviation, recently stepped down from Air India amid ongoing financial and regulatory challenges following a fatal crash. The appointments come as Air New Zealand faces aircraft delivery delays, engine issues, and rising fuel costs linked to Middle East conflicts. McDonald currently chairs Contact Energy and serves on the FleetPartners board.
