Singapore Airlines has appointed Peter Seah Lim Huat to take over as non executive chairman beginning on January 1, 2017.
He replaces Stephen Lee who is retiring at the end of the year.
Lee joined the SIA board in 2004 and became chairman more than a decade ago.
Seah has had a 30-year career in banking and joined the SIA board last year.
"Singapore Airlines is one of Singapore’s strongest companies and best-known brands, and it has successfully weathered many challenges under Stephen’s tenure as chairman," Seah said.
"I look forward to building on the work that Stephen has overseen during his time as Chairman, in steering the SIA Group through the global financial crisis, a change in CEO and the implementation of numerous strategic initiatives to better position the Group for the future."
