Cathay Pacific will again overfly Russian airspace on some flights.
The Hong Kong airline has restarted flights from New York to Hong Kong using the ‘Polar route.’
It will overfly the far eastern part of Russia.
“The Polar route provides a safe, direct and the fastest flight experience to our customers”, the airline said.
Unlike European and US airlines, Cathay is not subject to sanctions stopping it from flying in Russian airspace.
Cahay is ‘compliant with applicable sanctions regulations.’ it said.
It stopped overflying Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
Using the Polar route also avoids the possibility of having to make aircrew changes because of flight duty limits.
