Singapore Airlines (SIA) has confirmed its first top leadership change in nearly 20 years, with the appointment of administration chief Chew Choon Seng as chief executive-designate to replace the retiring Cheong Choong Kong. Chew, a 30-year SIA veteran, will take over from Cheong when he retires in June. He is senior executive vice-president (administration). Chew is also chairman of Singapore Aircraft Leasing Enterprise and chairman of Singapore public transport company SMRT. Many financial analysts and industry observers had been expecting senior executive vice- president Lt Gen Bey Soo Khiang (Retd) to be appointed to the top job.
