Asian Aviation Editor Matt Driskill is In Conversation with Subhas Menon, director general of the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines. Menon joined the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines in March 2020. Menon has over 35 years’ experience in international aviation with the Singapore Airlines Group, having served in a wide spectrum of roles including international and government relations, marketing, product development, logistics, country and regional management. In his various roles in the airline industry over the past three decades, he has developed a solid skill set that includes successfully building and managing relationships with different stakeholders, strong communications and public speaking skills as well as commercial acumen honed across different regions.
