Cathay Cargo appoints Anand Yediri as its new European Regional Head of Cargo

• Cathay today announced the appointment of Anand Yediri as its new Regional Head of Cargo for Europe, effective September 2025.
• Anand takes over from Jansen Stafford, who will return to Cathay’s Hong Kong headquarters to take on the role of Head of Strategic Cargo Projects.

Yediri brings more than 20 years of experience with Cathay, including a strong background in passenger and cargo operations around the world.

Markets. Born and educated in Mumbai, Anand began his career with Cathay in 2004 in the customer services department at Mumbai International Airport, before moving to the commercial team in 2007, where he led passenger sales for South India from Chennai.

In 2010, he returned to Mumbai to head passenger sales in Western India. His shift into shipping came in 2014 when he was appointed Regional Director of Shipping for South Asia, Middle East and Africa, where he oversaw Cathay Cargo’s business and operations across a broad and complex region. Since 2018, Anand has been responsible for passenger sales, marketing and lifestyle for the same region, based in Mumbai.

“Freight is a vital part of Cathay’s global offering, and Europe is one of our most important freight markets,” Yediri said. “I am honored to take on this role and lead our freight operations across Europe at such a pivotal time for the industry. I look forward to building strong partnerships with our customers and strengthening Cathay’s freight presence throughout the region.”

Yediri’s deep understanding of regional dynamics, coupled with his operational and commercial experience, qualifies him to lead Cathay Cargo’s growth and strategy in Europe.
