Tiger Airways has appointed veteran Singapore Airlines executive Chin Yau Seng to replace its Australian chief Tony Davis, in the latest drama to hit the discount airline.
Mr Chin steps in as acting chief executive and will officially take over on November 1 when Mr Davis will leave the company, Tiger said today.
Mr Davis only got the top job in July when Crawford Rix stepped down as chief executive after the Civil Aviation Safety Authority suspended Tiger from flying in Australia following reports of unsafe landing approaches by its pilots.
Mr Chin is the former CEO of Singapore Airlines subsidiary Silk Air. Mr Chin is a 15 years veteran of Singapore Airlines, which owns one third of Tiger.
The tumultuous two months of uncertainty for the discount airline dealt a blow to the discount carrier whose public imaged had already suffered from public anger over its customer service.
