IATA<\/a>\u00a0have announced that Goh Choon Phong, CEO of\u00a0Singapore Airlines<\/a>, has assumed his duties as Chairman of the IATA Board of Governors (BoG) for a one-year term. Goh is the 76th Chair of the IATA BoG, and the third CEO of Singapore Airlines to hold this position.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to serve as IATA\u2019s Chairman for the coming year. While the industry\u2019s 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. We must improve our partnership with governments to meet the many emerging threats. Additionally, I will be paying special attention to progressing preparations for the Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), driving the modernization of cargo processes, and increasing transaction volumes with the New Distribution Capability. We have a busy year ahead. I look forward to working with Alexandre and his team to represent, lead and serve the airline industry,\u201d said Mr. Goh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to express my sincere appreciation to Willie Walsh for his strong support and leadership as Chairman of the IATA Board of Governors. Willie\u2019s insights were especially helpful as I settled into the job of Director General. And it was great to see the historic CORSIA agreement being achieved during his tenure as Chairman. Willie has been a long-time advocate for a market-based measure to help meet our climate change commitments,\u201d said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA\u2019s Director General and CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working closely with Choon Phong during his term as Chairman. Singapore is a rare example of a country where all the dots in aviation have been connected to create a powerful aviation success story. Strong partnerships are also needed at the global level to deliver aviation\u2019s economic and social benefits. Choon Phong\u2019s experience and insight in this area will be invaluable as we address the many issues that confront the industry,\u201d said Mr. de Juniac.<\/p>\n

IATA also announced the BoG agreed to appoint Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, to serve for a one-year term as Chairman of the IATA BoG from June 2018, following Goh\u2019s term.<\/p>\n
