Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific has said it has extended its flight suspensions to and from Dubai and Riyadh by a month until May 31 because of the war in the Middle East, AFP reports.

The Asian aviation giant said in two separate statements that all Cathay Pacific flights to and from Riyadh and Dubai had been cancelled up to and including May 31, 2026, “in view of the ongoing situation in the Middle East”.

The firm said customers affected by the changes had been advised and that it was “monitoring the situation closely and will remain agile”.
