Cathay Pacific has announced a delay in the resumption of its services to the Middle East, now scheduled for late October 2026. Initially planned for September 1, 2026, the airline has revised its schedule, with flights from Hong Kong to Dubai and Riyadh set to commence on October 25, 2026. The Hong Kong-Dubai route will operate daily using an Airbus A350-900, while the Hong Kong-Riyadh route will have four weekly flights. This adjustment is part of Cathay Pacific's ongoing efforts to manage its international routes effectively, ensuring operational readiness and market demand alignment.
