Tony Tyler
Chief Executive, Cathay Pacific Airways

According to Tony Tyler, running an airline is like playing rugby. It is competitive, brutal, and it takes strategy. Tyler would know. Afterall, he runs Hong Kong's flagship carrier Cathay Pacific Airways. However, in the face of cutthroat competition and rising fuel costs, can Cathay Pacific continue soaring as the region's second most profitable carrier?

CNBC's Christine Tan tackles the question with the Chief Executive at the Cathay Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong. Tan also asks Tyler about his flight plan for China, and if the carrier would help fund partner Air China's controversial takeover bid for China Eastern. So don't miss Managing Asia this weekend, only on CNBC.

I'm going to start with the President of Ping An Insurance, one of my guests on a recent trip to Hong Kong.
