Air India Forms Interim Committee as CEO Appointment Faces Delay
Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran has established an interim management committee, including former Air India CMD Pradeep Singh Kharola, to oversee Air India amid delays in appointing a new CEO following Campbell Wilson's departure in September. The delay stems from opposition to the proposed appointment of Chief Commercial Officer Nipun Aggarwal, though he remains a leading candidate. The committee aims to streamline operations and improve profitability as the airline navigates financial losses and industry challenges while continuing the CEO search.
