Air India being 'more transparent', says CEO

WITH THE SPOTLIGHT on Air India in the aftermath of the tragic crash of flight AI 171 on June 12, the Air India group has been "more transparent than usual" when it comes to reporting incidents and events with aircraft, no matter how small, which has resulted in a perception of increased incidents, Air India's chief executive officer Campbell Wilson said in a message to employees.

Wilson, however, added that for an airline group as large as Air India, the incidence rate is "entirely normal". The Air India group includes full-service airline Air India and its no-frills carrier arm Air India Express.
