Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. Chairman John Slosar resigned, weeks after the troubled carrier’s chief executive officer stepped down as the airline faced scrutiny from Beijing.
Slosar, 63, is retiring and will be replaced by Patrick Healy, 53, Cathay said Wednesday in a filing. Healy joined Cathay’s parent Swire Group in 1988, the airline said.
Rupert Hogg stepped
down as Cathay’s CEO in August after the airline’s employees’ participation in the anti-Beijing protests in Hong Kong drew the ire of the Chinese government.
