Hayes began his duties as chair of the IATA board in November last year.
Due to interruptions in the cycle of governance meetings as a result of the pandemic, Hayes’ mandate was extended beyond the normal one-year cycle.
IATA also confirmed that Pegasus Airlines chief executive, Mehmet Tevfik Nane, has been appointed chair-elect of the IATA board of governors.
He will begin a one-year term as chair at the conclusion of the Shanghai meeting.
