Singapore Airlines said on Friday that executive Vice President Goh Choon Phong will succeed Chew Choon Seng as chief executive when Chew retires at the end of this year.
Goh, 47, currently EVP for marketing and regions, joined SIA in 1990 after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
He had previously served as president of the Singapore flag carrier's cargo arm.
Outgoing CEO Chew, 63, has lead Singapore Airlines since June 2003.
