Berjaya Land Berhad has announced the redesignation of Datuk Captain Chester Voo, former Chief Executive Officer of Group Aviation at BLand, to the role of Independent Non-Executive Director at Berjaya Air Sdn Bhd and AsiaJet Sdn Bhd, effective December 1, 2023.
The group said the strategic transition underscores the company’s commitment to optimising his extensive experience and
expertise in his new capacity. Datuk Voo, a seasoned aviation professional with 29 years of experience, served as the CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (“CAAM”) from June 2020 to December 2022. During his tenure, he successfully led the aviation safety regulator through the challenges of the Covid-19 crisis and helped CAAM regain its Category 1 rating from the US Federal Aviation Administration. This accomplishment enabled Malaysian carriers to expand their services to the United States.
In his new position, Datuk Voo will provide essential guidance to enhance the governance and structure of the aviation businesses for both Berjaya Air and AsiaJet which share a collective mission to deliver secure, compliant, and sustainable travel experiences.
Berjaya Air recently acquired two new ATR 72 600 aircraft configured to offer VIP Premium services. Future plans include the expansion of flight capacity on a nonscheduled charter basis, with particular emphasis on destinations where Berjaya owns
resorts and underserved regions, aligned with the company’s broader interests in the travel and hospitality sector.
