CEO Wilson explains why competition doesn't faze Air India in new avatar

As the airline prepares for takeoff in a new avatar, Campbell gives Nivedita Mookerji & Deepak Patel a view from the cockpit

We are to meet Campbell Wilson, CEO and MD of Air India, at a Taj hotel in New Delhi over lunch, but there’s a change in venue. Wilson has back-to-back meetings at his Gurugram headquarters, so we travel the extra mile(s) and meet at threesixtyone° at The Oberoi, a competitor to Tata group’s Taj chain. 

During our conversation over an extended lunch that follows, the Air India boss mentions the Tatas often. He draws our attention to the mega reset that’s been in the works at the airline over the two years since the government sold its 100 per cent
