British Airways Suspends All Flights To Beijing And Shanghai

British Airways has suspended bookings on its website for direct flights from London to Beijing and Shanghai.

The ban is in response to the coronavirus outbreak and will be in effect until March.

BA.com, the airline’s website, shows no direct flights to China are available in January and February.

Reuters reports that a spokeswoman for the airline said on Wednesday it was “assessing the situation”.

Britain on Tuesday advised against “all but essential” travel to mainland China due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Nearly 6000 cases of the virus have been confirmed worldwide.
