SilkAir will have a new Chief Executive from 3
September 2012, when Leslie Thng takes over from Marvin Tan, who
will be returning to parent company Singapore Airlines.
Mr. Thng, 37, joined SilkAir as a Board
Director on 1 April 2012 and is currently SIA’s Vice President
Network Planning.
He has been with SIA for more than 13
years, during which time he has held positions in head office as
well as overseas.
Before taking up his current post in Network
Planning in December 2011, Mr Thng had been based in Frankfurt as
General Manager Germany since June 2009. Prior to that he was
based in Italy for one and a half years and before that was in
China for more than three years. He has also worked in the
company’s Loyalty Marketing and Network Revenue Management departments.
Mr. Tan, 41, will be returning to SIA as Ag
Senior Vice President Cabin Crew. He has been Chief Executive of
SilkAir since October 2010.
“Marvin has been leading
SilkAir through an especially exciting time in the airline’s
history. During his watch SilkAir added eight new destinations to
its network and recently announced the largest aircraft order in
its history,” said SilkAir Chairman Mr. Mak Swee Wah. “I
would like to express my sincere thanks to Marvin and look forward
to working closely with Leslie as we further enhance SilkAir’s
role as the Regional Wing of Singapore Airlines.”
