Cathay Cargo has announced the appointment of Siddhant Iyer as its new Head of Cargo Global Partnerships. Iyer, who brings over 15 years of experience with the company, will be responsible for strengthening and expanding the airline’s global partnerships. His appointment comes as the company seeks to leverage his extensive regional expertise to further develop relationships with key stakeholders around the world.
Iyer’s career with Cathay Cargo began in Bengaluru, India, where he served as Area Services Manager. Since then, he has held various roles within the company, building a deep understanding of the air cargo sector and the company’s operational dynamics.
Iyer takes over from Chris Bowden, who will be transitioning to a new role as Group General Manager of Safety & Quality at Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company (HAECO) in March 2025. HAECO is a leading global provider of aircraft engineering and maintenance services. Bowden has been with the Cathay Group for over six years, during which time he made significant contributions to Cathay Cargo’s operations.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Chris and wish him every success in his new position at HAECO,” Cathay Cargo said in a statement. “With Siddhant succeeding him, we are excited for the future of Cathay Cargo and the continued growth of our global partnerships.”
This leadership change marks a significant step for Cathay Cargo as it continues to enhance its position in the global air cargo market.
