Sa isang pahayag araw ng Miyerkules, sinabi ng anak ni Tan na si Vivienne na mamumuno bilang interim president ang kanyang ama.
Tutulungan ni Vivienne ang kanyang ama sa day-to-day operations ng flag carrier.
“Our goal is to ensure an orderly and seamless transition of leadership to ensure that our mandate to serve the traveling public is achieved. Thus, it is in the best interest of PAL and its stakeholders for my father and I to work together pending the turnover of day to day operations to the next PAL President and COO,” ani Vivienne.
Noong Hunyo ay inaprubahan ng board ng PAL ang appointment ni Vivienne bilang officer-in-charge ng airline matapos ang retirement ni PAL president Jaime Bautista.
