With his wealth of managerial experience especially in the global markets and his eye for product quality and strategic innovation, he is well qualified to take on the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of the SATS Group.”

He added, “We would also like to express our deep appreciation to Chin Hwee, for his able stewardship of SATS during the last several years. He has been instrumental in sharpening SATS’ competencies and building its strengths in an increasingly competitive market in Singapore, and steered SATS’ successful expansion into key overseas markets. Under his leadership, SATS has enhanced its reputation as a valued ground handling and inflight catering partner in the industry. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
