23 December 2019 12:48

JAKARTA - SOE Minister Erick Thohir said that the Ministry of SOEs has decided on three candidates for the new CEO of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (GIAA).

The three candidates will be officially proposed by the ministry in early January 2020 ahead of the airline’s EGM on January 22. “We will propose three candidates in early January. There hasn’t been any proposal to the TPA (Final Assessment Team) yet,” said Mr Thohir at a Mother’s Day Commemoration Event in Jakarta as quoted by Bisnis.com, Sunday (22/12).

However, Mr Thohir has not revealed the names of the said candidates. The selection, he said, will be done transparently by the Final Assessment Team to gain a positive response from the market.

“I would like the market to respond positively,” said Mr Thohir.

Currently, Garuda Finance and Risk Management Director Fuad Rizal is serving as the airline’s acting CEO following the sacking of Ari Askhara, who was involved in the smuggling of luxurious goods on board the airline’s new Airbus A330-900 aircraft. (MS)
