Air India CEO Addresses speculation Amidst Ongoing Examination
Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India, has issued a memo to staff addressing the ongoing cycle of theories and allegations surrounding a recent incident, stating that many have been disproven. The memo comes as the Airline Pilots’ Association of India expresses dissatisfaction with the preliminary report, which they believe unfairly focuses on a single, perhaps misleading statement regarding fuel supply.The preliminary report, which has drawn criticism from the Airline Pilots’ Association of India, is reportedly focusing on a cockpit voice recording related to fuel supply. Sam Thomas,president of the association,told the Press Trust of India that the report contains “elementary mistakes” and is prematurely directing blame towards the pilots before the inquiry is concluded.
