Managing director and CEO Campbell Wilson tells Rohit Vaid and Shobhana Subramanian a lot of focus at the moment is on the long haul international space where there's a lot of opportunity. Excerpts:
You've said you're on the runway and near the takeoff stage. Where do you see AI in say three or four years in terms of market share and profits?
I won't talk about finances being a privately held company, but I think the ambition that we have stated is 30% market share domestically, internationally. I think we are quite confident about reaching that. And I'm quite confident that in five years time we will be a consistently high quality, world class, well-respected airline offering a very good quality, full service proposition, but also a very significant and very good low cost proposition.
When will AI be cruising at a height of 20,000 ft?
Well, I don't think we'll ever be cruising. The nature of aviation is that we always need to fly a little bit higher. The takeoff phase, which we're currently in, will end in March next year. Depending on where you look on that journey, we're probably a little bit ahead of where we expect it to be.
