The carrier said on Thursday it would suspend the service from June 1 for commercial reasons and after assessing recent market conditions.

“To minimise the possible impact to passengers, we will directly contact our passengers to make rebooking, re-routing or refund arrangements, and all the associated fees will be waived,” it said.

The airline said affected fliers would be compensated with a free return ticket.

It also apologised to those affected, adding: “We will learn from the experience and strive to explore new potential destinations, enhance the service of existing routes and collaborate with travel agencies on charter business.”
