In light of recently increased cargo operations, Cathay Pacific is to re-establish the position of director cargo. This is in line with its aim of becoming the “most customer-centric air cargo services provider in the world”.

Mr Lam said: “George has held posts in numerous geographies in Swire Group’s shipping business. These experiences stand him in good stead to steer our cargo business to a more digitised future and elevated level of customer responsiveness.”
