Air India gains market share in Indian aviation amid leadership change
What happened
Air India increased its domestic market share in India by 2.7 percentage points in August, reaching 26.7%, according to Directorate General of Civil Aviation information. This rise was driven by increased capacity from Air India Express, not a broader increase in demand. Concurrently, Air India appointed Tewolde Gebremariam as its chief executive and managing director, succeeding Campbell Wilson.
