Delta, American Become First US Airlines to Cancel US-China Flights

VOA News

   Delta and American Airlines announced Friday they will suspend flights
   to China after the World Health Organization (WHO) labeled the
   coronavirus pandemic as a global public-health emergency.

   American Airlines (AAL) said in a statement that it is suspending
   flights to and from mainland China until March 27. However, it will
   continue flights to and from Hong Kong. This decision comes after a
   lawsuit by the union representing airline's pilots sued the company to
   immediately stop its US-China service due to possible health threats
   posed by the coronavirus.

   Delta Air Lines was the first to announce its suspension of flights,
   which will begin Feb. 6 and are scheduled to continue through April 30.
   The last flight will leave the U.S. on Feb. 3, and the last flight to
   return to the U.S. will be Feb 5.
