1. Andrew David To Be Next Leader Of Tiger Airways Australia
Tiger Airways has selected Andrew David, a veteran of the local airline industry, as the person to turn around the fortunes of its troubled Australian operation.
David served as chief operating officer of Virgin Blue from 2005 to November 2010 and previously held senior leadership roles at Air New Zealand. He was considered a contender to take over at Virgin Blue before current CEO John Borghetti was appointed.
The selection of a new leader for Tiger Australia was a particularly crucial decision for parent Tiger Airways Holdings. The airline has recently returned to service after a five-week grounding due to safety concerns by Australian regulators. Even before that, it was a financial drain on the parent company.
With its choice of David, Tiger has opted for someone with strong experience in the Australasian airline market. He will be expected to restore confidence in the carrier and rebuild its network. Tiger is gradually resuming routes after its grounding, but has already said it will have a smaller network than before.
David, who will take over Oct. 17, will be the third CEO Tiger Australia has had in less than three months. CEO Crawford Rix left the airline soon after it was grounded in July, and the CEO of the Tiger Airways Holdings parent company, Tony Davis, was directed by the company's board to take over the Australian operation. The Tiger board announced in late August that Davis would leave on Nov. 1. Chin Yau Seng, who has replaced Davis as head of Tiger Airways Holdings, says that David “brings with him a wealth of experience in the airline business and a proven track record as a leader and manager.”
