British Airways Suspends All Flights To and From China
British Airways has confirmed it has suspended all flights to and from China due to Foreign Office advice following the Coronavirus outbreak which has now claimed 132 lives in China with nearly 6000 infected.
A notice on their website BA.com read as follows:
‘Following Foreign Office advice against all but essential travel to mainland China we have temporarily suspended our flights to and from Beijing and Shanghai with immediate effect, until Friday 31 January, while we assess the situation.
