The aviation industry must continue to learn from past lessons and work together to curb the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus, Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) director general Andrew Herdman said as many airlines move to suspend flights to Chinese cities.
An increasing number of airlines across the world are making major operational changes in response to the effects of the rapidly spreading novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak that began in Wuhan, China.
British Airways (BA) announced Jan. 29 that it will suspend all direct flights to China, effective immediately, after the Foreign Office urged all Britons to cancel any nonessential trips to China as the novel coronavirus outbreak expands.
