Dragonair has appointed Andy Tung as General Manager, Marketing and Sales. He will be responsible for setting the direction for marketing and sales activities system-wide, and for making policy decisions that optimise revenue for both passenger and cargo operations at a time when the airline is in the midst of the biggest fleet expansion programme in its history.

Prior to that, he worked in the transportation sectors, spending three years in management positions at shipping line OOCL, and two years as Planner, Routes and Schedules with United Airlines at its headquarters in Chicago.

Mr Tung holds a Bachelor degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University and a Master degree in Business Administration from Stanford University in the US.

Dragonair is a Hong Kong-based airline, operating a fleet of seven A330-300s, three A321s and seven A320s, in addition to two Boeing 747 freighters. It is currently in the midst of a programme to more than double its fleet by the end of 2005. The airline’s passenger network covers 28 destinations across the Asia-Pacific region, while its cargo network connects the markets of Europe, the Middle East, Japan and China.
