Following American, United says it will suspend Hong Kong flights

United on Tuesday said it will suspend Hong Kong service, days after it cut its mainland China flights as coronavirus spreads. The carrier said demand had dropped for the routes. The suspension begins Feb. 8 and will last until Feb. 20 but more changes are possible. “We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops and make any necessary changes to our schedule,” the company said. The suspension of Hong Kong follows a similar step American Airlines announced earlier Tuesday. American Airlines on Tuesday suspended its Hong Kong service, halting flights to and from Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles through Feb. 20 citing a drop in demand as the coronavirus spreads.<br/>
