Tiger Airways Has New Boss
Tiger Airways Has New Boss – TIGER Airways Holdings has appointed the former boss of low-cost UK carrier bmibaby as managing director of its Australian operations.
Aviation veteran Crawford Rix will head up the Singapore-based airline’s Australian arm after a four-year stint as managing director at bmibaby.
He takes over from Shelley Roberts, who has held the position since mid-2008.
Ms Roberts established Tiger Airways Australia as a major national airline, leading it from infancy to profitability, Tiger Airways Holdings Group CEO Tony Davis said.
“After completing her hand-over to Crawford, she intends to take a well-deserved break,” he said in a statement.
Mr Rix’s career in the industry spans more than 30 years.
He has held senior positions with several UK airlines including Dan Air, bmi Regional and bmibaby.
During his time at bmibaby, he brought the airline to the top position in the UK in terms of reliability and punctuality among low-cost carriers, Tiger said.
“We are delighted that Crawford will be joining us later in the year,” Mr Davis said.
“With his experience and track record, he will be a great asset to the business.”
