Cathay Pacific has appointed a new CEO for HK Express taking over the role from Ronald Lam.
Mandy Ng will become the new CEO with immediate effect. The move comes in the wake of the Hong Kong protests, which took place last week, disrupting the main airport.
Following the riots, both Rupert Hogg and Paul Loo resigned as chief executive and chief customer commercial officer, respectively.
This meant that Lam replaced Loo as its chief customer and commercial officer on 16 August.
Ng's previous roles include being the general manager business development at Swire Pacific, and before that, the director and general manager of Akzonobel Swire Paints Hong Kong. Swire owns Cathay.
In a statement, Lam said: “Over the past month, we have worked closely with the team at HK Express following its acquisition by Cathay Pacific and have achieved a smooth transition while also laying down a solid transformation plan to make HK Express better and stronger moving forward. Our commitment towards HK Express operating as a stand-alone low-cost airline remains unchanged."
