TIGER Airways said today its acting chief executive, Chin Yau Seng, will take over as the permanent head of the budget carrier on November 1 to replace Tony Davis, who is leaving the company.
Mr Davis, who joined Tiger Airways in January 2005, is the chief of the airline's Australian unit that was grounded for nearly six weeks by local regulators on safety concerns.
Mr Davis is leaving to take up a new position outside the company and will also cease to be an executive director at Tiger, according to a company statement to the Singapore Exchange.
The company is in the process of appointing a replacement for Mr Davis as the chief executive of Tiger Airways Australia, it said.
