World's second best airline cancels Dubai, Riyadh flights through November
Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific has extended the suspension of all passenger flights to Dubai and Riyadh until after November.
Cathay Pacific, recognized globally as the second-best airline, has announced the suspension of flights to Dubai and Riyadh through November due to escalating tensions in West Asia. The decision, disclosed on Friday, allows affected passengers to rebook, reroute, or receive refunds for their tickets. The airline will continue to monitor the situation closely.
The move follows the recent uptick in hostility between the U.S. and Iran, with the two nations exchanging strikes, as reported by AsiaOne. Cathay initially halted its services to Dubai and Riyadh on February 28, shortly after the conflict erupted. Initially, the carrier had planned to resume passenger and freighter services to the region from September but later pushed back the resumption to late October, as per the South China Morning Post.
Additionally, the airline had previously abandoned a plan to restart freighter services to Riyadh from August 1 without providing an updated timetable.
