HONG KONG (Reuters) - Former Hong Kong Airlines director Zhong Guosong has been appointed chairman as part of a board expansion aimed at turning around the struggling company, formerly controlled by heavily-indebted Chinese conglomerate HNA Group.

The move hands effective power to Zhong and Chinese private equity Frontier Investment Partner who hold about 27 and 34 percent, respectively. HNA, which cut its stake two years ago, holds about 29 percent.
