Cathay Pacific has announced an extension of the suspension of its flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh until May 31, 2026, citing ongoing instability linked to the broader conflict in the Middle East. The airline stated that the decision has been made as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, and operations amid evolving regional security concerns.
Officials indicated that the situation continues to be closely monitored, with future decisions dependent on security assessments and international aviation guidelines. The extended suspension is expected to impact travel plans for passengers across key transit routes, while also reflecting wider disruptions in the aviation sector due to geopolitical tensions. Cathay Pacific has advised affected travelers to stay updated through official channels and explore alternative arrangements where necessary.
