Airline boss under graft investigation
Print Edition
THE biggest Chinese airline said yesterday that its chairman is being investigated by the country’s anti-corruption agency.
China Southern Airlines said Si Xianmin is being investigated “by the relevant authorities for suspected serious disciplinary violations.”
The phrase usually refers to corruption.
No details were given in the brief statement to Hong Kong’s stock exchange. The statement followed a similar announcement posted on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, China’s top anti-graft body.
Si, who has been chairman since 2009, is the latest top executive at a state-owned company caught up in the country’s widening anti-corruption crackdown.
Earlier this week, the commission said it was investigating the general manager of Dongfeng Motor, China’s second-largest automaker.
China Southern, which is based in the southern boomtown of Guangzhou, is the country’s biggest airline by passengers and fleet size.
China Southern and Dongfeng Motor were among 13 state-owned companies targeted a year ago in a round of inspections by the anti-corruption watchdog.
The airline said last month that an executive vice president was placed under investigation for suspected bribery.
