Cathay Pacific Reshapes Board as Swire and Mainland Aviation Leaders Take Key Roles

Cathay Pacific Airways ( (HK:0293) ) has issued an announcement.

Cathay Pacific Airways has announced a series of board changes that will reshape its governance structure over the next 18 months, further underlining the airline’s close alignment with both the Swire group and major mainland aviation stakeholders. Effective 24 December 2025, Ma Chongxian will step down as non-executive director and deputy chair due to changes in his job assignments, and will be succeeded in both roles by Air China chairman Liu Tiexiang, whose extensive leadership experience across Air China, China Eastern and China National Aviation Holding signals continued deep integration between Cathay and mainland aviation interests. Following the company’s annual general meeting on 13 May 2026, long-serving chair and executive director Patrick Healy will retire from the board in conjunction with his retirement from the Swire group, with current non-executive director and Swire group heavyweight Guy Bradley re-designated as executive director and elected chair, while former Cathay CFO and current Swire Pacific finance chief Martin Murray will rejoin the Cathay board as a non-executive director, reinforcing Swire’s financial and strategic oversight of the airline as it navigates its post-pandemic recovery and competitive positioning in the regional aviation market.
