Tensions in the Middle East have escalated, and the Security Bureau updated red travel warnings for Iran and Israel on Feb. 28. According to the Immigration Department's latest update on March 1, it has not received any requests for assistance from Hong Kong residents.
The Airport Authority said last night that due to the situation in Iran, as of 8 pm on Saturday (Feb. 28) nine passenger flights scheduled for Saturday and Sunday (March 1) at Hong Kong International Airport were affected. These included three flights from Dubai or Riyadh delayed arriving in Hong Kong, three departing flights canceled, and three flights bound for Riyadh and Dubai delayed in departure.
Cathay Pacific said that due to the latest developments in the Middle East leading to closures of some regional airspace, it has suspended flight operations within the region, including passenger flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh, and cargo flights to and from Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport. Flights that normally fly over the affected airspace have also been rerouted.
