Armed with a mandate to turn Air India around, he’s currently busy with key management hiring decisions, officials said.
Wilson, former CEO of Singaporean low-cost airline Scoot, took over at Air India on June 16. He’s focusing on fixing systems and processes to ensure on-ground efficiencies besides keeping close tabs on daily losses, which have fallen significantly, according to the people cited above.
