Capt Izham Ismail is new MAS chief executive

PETALING JAYA: Capt Izham Ismail (pix) has been appointed Malaysia Airlines Bhd executive director and group chief executive officer replacing Peter Bellew.

Capt Izham is presently the chief operating officer of the airline.

The Board of Directors (Board) of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) and Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) said Capt Izham’s appointment "is in line with the succession plan that MAB has put in place as part of the 12-point MAS Recovery Plan (MRP)."

The plan provides for the development and succession of Malaysian leadership talent in the company.

"It will be led by Chairman Tan Sri Md Nor Yusof and will include Board members Tan Sri Krishnan Tan Boon Seng, Tan Sri Zamzamzairani Isa and Sheranjiv Sammanthan," they said in a statement.

Bellew resigned from MAS last week to take up a position at Ireland’s best known airline, Ryanair.
