Air India chief Campbell Wilson said on Friday that the airline’s progress over the past 12 months has been “quite astonishing” and that much more needs to be done if Tata group completes the first year of takeover of the carrier. Listing key initiatives over the past year, Air India said it is “finalising a historic order of new aircraft to drive future growth”.

Campbell also said that while working on improvements, the airline has not shied away from other ambitious actions, such as merging Air India Express with Air Asia, or Vistara with Air India, or starting the establishment of a new InfoTech Centre, or a Aviation Academy.

“Not to mention our much-discussed fleet expansion in the short and medium term,” said the CEO and director of Air India said in a communication to employees.

tata group took control of Air India from the government on January 27 last year.

“All told, the progress over the past 12 months has been nothing short of astonishing, even though we’ve been working so hard behind the scenes to build platforms and capabilities for our future ambitions to take off.

“There’s a lot more that needs to be done, of course, and everyone – internally and externally – is dying for us to do it,” Campbell said.
