Briefing
Leadership change is effective 1 April 2026 after Menon’s six-year tenure; Wong Hong’s 22+ years of industry experience and his role as former Delta China president mean AAPA’s advocacy and engagement with regulators and carriers will be guided by new executive priorities.
The transition comes as AAPA is pushing for regulatory harmonisation, stronger SAF policy and recovery of intra‑regional connectivity — areas where the association’s leadership influences industry lobbying and government engagement. See AAPA’s recent focus on intra‑region connectivity and SAF policy and the region’s ongoing aircraft order and fleet investment momentum.
