Singapore Airlines to cut flights as coronavirus epidemic hits demand

SIA will temporarily cut flights across its global network in the three months to May, it said Tuesday, as a coronavirus epidemic hits demand for services to the Asian city state, as well as through the key transit hub. Key affected destinations include Frankfurt, Jakarta, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Paris, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo, the airline said on its website. "Singapore Airlines and SilkAir will temporarily reduce services across our network due to weak demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak," the carrier said. "We will continue to monitor the situation and make further adjustments as necessary." The cuts follow major reductions already announced in services to mainland China and Hong Kong.<br/>
