DUBAI, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The airline industry is "without
question" healthy enough to absorb a significant downturn in
China's economy, said Willie Walsh, chief executive of
International Airlines Group, which owns British Airways.
He was speaking at an aviation event in Doha on Wednesday.
Global airlines have suspended or scaled back more direct
flights to China's major cities amid an increase in travel
warnings and decline in demand from passengers due to a growing
outbreak of coronavirus.
