BOC Aviation Limited (“BOC Aviation” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Ms. Adeline Lim has been appointed Chief Risk Officer with effect from 25 May 2026. In her new role, she leads the Company’s global risk management function and is responsible for shaping and executing the Company’s risk strategy, overseeing both airline credit risk and enterprise risk, and ensuring robust governance across all risk domains.

Ms. Lim replaces Mr. Stephen Barnes, who will remain with the Company to ensure a smooth transition of his duties until his retirement.
