British Airways has suspended all direct flights to and from mainland China as concerns grow over the coronavirus outbreak.
The airline, which operates daily flights to Shanghai and Beijing from Heathrow, has also suspended bookings on its website until March following advice from the Foreign Office warning against “all but essential travel”.
“We apologise to customers for the inconvenience, but the safety of our customers and crew is always our priority,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday. “Customers due to travel to or from China in the coming days can find more information on BA.com.”
