American Airlines joins others in suspending some China flights as demand sags
American Airlines Group said Wednesday it would suspend flights from Los Angeles to Beijing and Shanghai, as demand has sagged amid a coronavirus outbreak in China that has prompted other airlines to also cancel flights. The US and Japan evacuated their nationals from a quarantined Chinese city Wednesday and British Airways suspended flights to China, where deaths from the virus have leapt to 133. American said its flight suspension would run from Feb 9 through Mar 27. The carrier, which normally operates 4 US flights a day to China, will continue flying to Beijing and Shanghai from Dallas. China's economic growth had helped power a global aviation boom over the last decade, but as the country curtails travel with the spread of the flu-like virus, a slowdown could hit the industry harder than ever before. <br/>
