Mandy Ng has been the CEO of HK Express since August 2019 – she is the first woman to lead a local airline and a part of the rather small community of 3% female CEOs in the global aviation industry. HK Express, which started with just five planes in October 2013 as the only local based low-cost carrier in Hong Kong, now flies to 26 cities with a fleet of 24 aircraft. On 19 July 2019, Cathay Pacific completed the acquisition of HK Express, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific and maintained its stand-alone low-cost operating model.

Mandy joined Cathay Pacific Airways in 1999 as Management Trainee and has held a variety of management positions involving planning, revenue management and sales in Hong Kong head office and across different regions. Prior to taking up her current role, Mandy was the General Manager Business Development of Swire Pacific and oversaw the acquisition of HK Express. Mandy obtained her EMBA and Bachelor Degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She has also completed the INSEAD Advanced Management Program in Singapore and France, and IESE Executive Leadership Program in Spain.
