Air India appoints Tewolde Gebremariam as its new chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director, according to NDTV. The reports say the appointment follows weeks of earlier reporting about his possible role connected to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). NDTV reports that Gebremariam was among the preferred candidates discussed for leading PIA after its privatisation, and that he was awaiting security clearance for that potential assignment. The NDTV coverage also frames the CEO decision as part of the broader executive leadership changes at Air India, identifying Gebremariam as a former chief executive of Ethiopian Airlines. The outlets do not provide additional details in the provided text about the decision timeline, the formal process behind any security clearance, or the specific terms of the Air India appointment. As presented, the information focuses on Air India’s leadership appointment and a separate, previously reported PIA-related consideration involving the same executive.
