KONG — Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific says it has stopped flying over Iran and the Caspian Sea following an air safety agency warning about Russia missiles fired at Syria.

The airline said Wednesday that flights that normally go over Iran and the Caspian Sea are now going around those areas to get to their destinations.

Cathay said the diversions started last Thursday and will continue “until further notice.”
