KUALA LUMPUR (June 10): AirAsia Expedia, a joint venture (JV) between Nasdaq-listed Expedia Inc and AirAsia Bhd, has announced the resignation of Kathleen Tan as its chief executive officer (CEO). Tan will also step down from the company's board of directors.

Tan was appointed to present post in January 2013 and has served on the board since the formation of the JV in 2011.

"(Tan) was an integral part of the leadership team that helped propel AirAsia into success and I knew she would do the same for AirAsia Expedia. She did just that and more,” said AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes in a statement today.

He added that under her leadership, AirAsia Expedia has seen significant growth in both brand awareness and revenue.

“Her departure from AirAsia Expedia will be a big loss for the group, but on behalf of the AirAsia family, I would like to thank (Tan) for her tremendous contributions. We wish her continued success in her future endeavours," said Fernandes.
