[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] Following the U.S. government's travel ban on China, major airlines have suspended flights to China.


According to CNBC, Delta Air Lines announced on the 31st (local time) that it will suspend all flights between the U.S. and China from the 6th to April 30th.


This is interpreted as a response to the U.S. Department of State upgrading its travel advisory for all of China from "reconsider travel" to "do not travel," the highest level, the night before. Delta Air Lines had already reduced its flight schedule between the U.S. and China by half.


American Airlines also decided to immediately cancel all flights to and from China until March 27th. However, flights to Hong Kong will be maintained.



United Airlines had announced a temporary suspension of flights to Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong from February 1st to 8th, but it is now reported that they will move to a complete suspension.
