Air India appointed former Ethiopian Airlines Group head Tewolde Gebremariam on Wednesday 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.

Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran said the carrier was now entering a “critical execution and expansion era”.

Tewolde led Ethiopian Airlines Group for more than a decade.

Air India praised his experience in managing large-scale airline transformations.
