Outgoing Air India CEO Campbell Wilson to Join Air New Zealand Board

The airline is adding aviation and finance veterans as it faces delayed aircraft deliveries, engine problems and elevated fuel costs, Reuters said.

  • Air New Zealand appointed Air India CEO Campbell Wilson and CFO Robert McDonald as directors on Wednesday, effective September 24 at the airline's annual shareholders' meeting.
  • Wilson brings over three decades of aviation experience, having previously founded Scoot, the low-cost carrier of Singapore Airlines.
  • Currently chairing Contact Energy and serving as a director at FleetPartners Group, McDonald brings extensive corporate governance experience alongside Wilson to the board.
  • Persistent engine problems, delayed aircraft deliveries, and elevated fuel costs stemming from the Middle East conflict present immediate operational challenges for the airline.
  • Wilson left Air India after nearly four years in early April amid persistent losses and increased regulatory scrutiny following a crash last year that killed 260 people.
