We have a number of discussions going on this; see this thread for example:

Cathay Pacific / Cathay Dragon Fleet, Route and Information Guide, Discussion Thread

The long and short of it is because of the pilot/crew shortage resumptions are likely to be slower than anticipated.

However, there are some new routes coming online in June, such as Barcelona and the fifth freedom route between Singapore and Bangkok. Chennai and Colombo also just resumed this month.

There is considerable hinting about Gatwick resuming in October, as well as vaguer hints about Riyadh. Kolkata has been mentioned in the context of cargo but it did sustain a Cathay Dragon passenger route before as well so wonder if that could be a joint resumption.

Adelaide looked like a possibility last year but no definitive scheduling, and I believe Rome is still considered not permanently canceled but zero word on when it might come back.
