N Chandrasekaran Takes Direct Control of Air India

Air India is currently facing a series of challenges, especially after one of its aircraft recently met with an accident in Ahmedabad. Following these events, Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran has taken over direct control of the airline’s operations.

According to sources, Chandra is actively involved in managing day-to-day affairs at Air India as several technical and operational issues have been reported across multiple flights in recent weeks. These ongoing problems have made Air India’s management one of the biggest challenges currently facing the Tata Group.

Foreign CEO Campbell Wilson continues to work in coordination with Chandrasekaran. Sources state that Chandrasekaran is now focusing on long-term strategic planning and regulatory alignment for the airline.

Given the current situation, quick decision-making is seen as essential. Campbell Wilson is meeting with departmental heads and is overseeing a thorough review of the airline’s safety protocols. With Chandrasekaran’s extensive experience within the Tata Group, he is considered the most suitable person to lead Air India through this critical phase.
