Did you know? Smith started his career as a leg-spinner
Campbell Wilson, who has been picked by Tata Sons to lead Air India, has resigned from his current position at Singapore Airlines.
"This afternoon, I informed the executive team and your union leaders of my resignation from Scoot and the SIA Group," Wilson said in a communique sent to Scoot employees on May 13.
"It is especially hard to leave Scoot which, in two chapters, I have had the honour and pleasure of nurturing - together with a wonderful, wonderful group of people, past and present - from a mere spreadsheet to, amongst many other things, the World's Best Long-Haul, Low-Cost Airline."
Tata Sons, on May 12, announced Wilson's appointment as chief executive officer and managing director of Air India.
The 50-year-old has 26 years of aviation industry expertise across both full service and low-cost airlines.
Referring to his appointment to Air India, Wilson said, "It is a fantastic opportunity to lead a historic airline, now owned by the Tata Group, to new heights, and I am grateful to embark on that exciting challenge with the full blessings of the SIA management team."
