Commenting on his appointment, Tan said he was looking forward to progressing Qantas’ commitment to Asia.
“Asia is an incredibly important market for Qantas. Over the last two years, we’ve redesigned our Asia network to strengthen our position in the region,” said Mr Tan.
“We’ve opened new lounges in Hong Kong and Singapore, are introducing a new inflight dining experience in economy, and continue to expand our reach with our airline partners, providing greater access across Asia than ever before.”
Qantas operates more than 75 return services per week between Asia and Australia, operated by a mix of A330, refurbished B747 and during peak seasons, A380 aircraft.
Nick McGlynn, former regional general manager Asia, has returned to Australia to take up a new role as head of global sales and network at Qantas Freight.
