LIST: Canceled flights to China over novel coronavirus outbreak

Aviation Updates Philippines – Airlines have canceled several flights to mainland China primarily because of health concerns and falling demand amid the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak which originated from Wuhan, China.

Since last week, some Philippine carriers have already announced flight cancellations to crucial airports in China that are near Hubei province.

In a press release, Philippine Airlines announced that it will reduce flights to China by at least half starting February 1, 2020. However, PAL opted to remain serving other Chinese routes to "serve the urgent travel needs of our passengers, including many Chinese nationals returning to the mainland following their Lunar New Year holidays, and Filipinos who are returning home from their stays in China."

Cebu Pacific did not announce any flight reductions or cancellations. The low-cost airline will offer free refund, rebook, and reroute options to passengers traveling to China until February 29, 2020.
