Cathay Pacific announced on Tuesday that it would continue with its suspension of Middle East flights for the rest of March due to the volatile situation in the region.

The cancelled flights include daily passenger flights to and from Dubai in the UAE and the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh till March 31.

The SAR’s flag carrier said its freighter flights to the two places would also be cancelled.

It said affected passengers would be able to rebook, reroute or cancel their flight tickets, adding it would monitor the situation closely.

The airline also said it would offer extra passenger flights to London and additional capacity to Zurich in March to cater for a surge in demand to destinations in Europe.
