Home UAE Abu Dhabi Cathay Pacific To Drop Jeddah and Abu Dhabi While flights to both cities are being axed, Bahrain is to be expanded and double-daily Dubai is unaffected by Dominic Ellis February 2, 2014 Cathay Pacific is dropping services to Jeddah and Abu Dhabi from March 30 owing to “commercial reasons”, reports Business Traveller Asia Pacific. Schedules to Bahrain will be increased to daily with a stopover in Dubai, from the existing four-times-weekly with a stopover in Riyadh. Flights to Riyadh will become direct for five times weekly instead of the daily operation with intermediary stops at either Bahrain or Abu Dhabi. From May 2 to July 20, passengers flying on CX745 should note that the flight, instead of going Hong Kong-Dubai-Bahrain, will stop over in Abu Dhabi instead of Dubai due to a partial runway closure. But there will be no change for the return Bahrain-Dubai-Hong Kong CX746 flight. The twice daily schedule for Dubai remains unchanged. 0 Comments
