Coronavirus: African Airlines Suspend Flights to China

Chidozie Uzoezie

Following the outbreak of Corona Virus in China, African airlines have joined their counterparts around the world to suspend scheduled flights to China.

So far, four African airlines, including Egypt Air, Royal Air Maroc, Kenya Airways, and RwandAir have suspended all flights to destinations in China.

However, Ethiopian Airlines which is the largest African carrier with the most destinations in China, is yet to suspend operations to any of its destinations in mainland China. This has become worrisome in some quarters.

Other major airlines who have suspended flights to China include British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, American Airlines, Delta, United, and Turkish Airlines.

The suspension of flights to China has become necessary as the world struggles to prevent or minimize the spread of the deadly and highly infectious virus so as to avoid a global outbreak.

On Thursday, the Corona Virus outbreak was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, the novel virus has been confirmed in 24 countries outside China. No case has been confirmed in Africa yet.

As at the time of publishing this post, there were a total of 11,821 confirmed cases across the world and 259 deaths, all of which occured in China. However, 243 people have reportedly been discharged from hospital after recovery.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

Good location astounding but the staffs are rude and they make me wait so long for the service. They charge me more than what is on the website and did not refund me the manager is not helping with the issue

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
