The board confirmed that his departure is amicable, with no disputes or unresolved matters requiring shareholder attention according to the announcement. In a statement, the board expressed gratitude for his contributions during his tenure as reported.

While some media outlets have speculated about Qu’s potential appointment to a leadership role at Air China, no official announcement has been made regarding his new position as of 5 March 2026.
