The CEO of Singapore Airlines, Goh Choon Phong, took office this month as the new chairman of the International Air Transport Association’s (Iata) board of governors for a one-year term.
He joined Singapore Airlines in 1990 and held senior management roles in Singapore and overseas before being appointed CEO in 2011.
“While the industry’s global profitability may be strengthening, there is more work to be done as it is not evenly spread. Security is at the top of the agenda,” he said.
Choon Phong added that he would be paying special attention to progressing preparations for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (Corsia), driving the modernisation of cargo processes, and increasing transaction volumes during his term of service on the board.
