AirAsia appoints new Singapore head

Sepang, May 11, 2012

LOGAN Velaitham is AirAsia's new country head for Singapore, effective May 9. He was previously the airline's regional head of customer experience.

Velaitham has 20 years of experience in the aviation industry. The appointment comes as AirAsia seeks to gain a bigger foothold in Singapore, where it already operates 10 planes and 554 frequencies.

In addition, Velaitham has been tasked with operations development at Senai Airport in Johor, which AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes bets will be "an important hub for commercial and tourism activities" in the future, considering the many ongoing developments such as Iskandar Malaysia.
