Hong Kong’s flagship airline Cathay Pacific has announced that it will resume flights to the Middle East, as the United States and Iran signal that efforts to end the war remain viable, AFP reports.
Cathay suspended flights to Dubai and Riyadh at the end of February after the war broke out. The airline has raised fuel surcharges several times as the conflict has driven up oil prices.
It says it will resume daily passenger flights to Dubai and four-times weekly passenger flights to Riyadh from September 1. Freighter services to Riyadh will resume from August 1.
“Cathay will continue to closely monitor the evolving situation in the Middle East prior to the resumption dates,” the company states.
