DOHA, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The chief executive of International
Airlines Group (IAG) said he believes the overall impact of
coronavirus on global air travel demand will be marginal.
IAG, which owns British Airways and others, has not
identified the impact of the new virus on demand for the
airlines it owns, except for cancelled flights to China, Willie
Walsh said, speaking at an aviation event in Doha on Wednesday.
Aviation remains as safe as any other form of mass transport
following the new coronavirus outbreak, Qatar Airways chief
executive Akbar Al Baker said, speaking at the same event.
