Cathay Pacific is the latest airline to reduce the number of departures or otherwise try to deal with skyrocketing fuel prices in the wake of the Iran war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hong Kong-based company said on Saturday that two percent of departures in the parent company and six percent in the budget company HK Express are canceled from mid-May to the end of June.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As recently as March, the company announced plans to increase passenger capacity on long-haul flights by ten percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lufthansa and SAS are a couple of the companies that have also canceled flights. A number of other airline giants from the US, Europe and Asia have launched various types of fees to make up for the loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The industry has warned that cost problems will persist for several months even if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
