British Airways suspends mainland Chinese services
British Airways is temporarily suspending all mainland Chinese services in the wake of govt advice to avoid all but essential travel to the area. It operates services from London Heathrow to Beijing Daxing and Shanghai airports, using Boeing 777s and 787s. “We have suspended all flights to and from mainland China with immediate effect following advice from the Foreign Office against all but essential travel,” the airline says. The airline subsequently clarified that the suspension will remain in place until Jan 31 while it assesses the situation. The UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office had already recommended not to travel to Hubei province as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. But it has extended this warning to the rest of mainland China, excluding the areas of Hong Kong and Macao. <br/>
