Sep 3, 2010, 13:17 GMT
Singapore - Singapore Airlines Ltd on Friday named Goh Choon Phong, executive vice president for marketing and the regions as well as chairman of its subsidiary Silk Air, as its new chief executive.
Goh, 47, would formally take up the new position on January 1 and replace Chew Choon Seng when he retires at the end of this year, the airline said.
Goh joined Singapore Airlines in 1990 and served in several senior management positions, it said.
Singapore's national carrier, which is 55-per-cent owned by state investor Temasek Holdings, suffered from the slump in air travel demand caused by the global recession but has since regained some ground and posted a profit for the second quarter.
