(Adds statement)
LONDON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - British Airways has
suspended all direct flights to and from mainland China after
Britain warned against all but essential travel to the country
due to the coronavirus outbreak.
BA.com, the airline's website, shows no direct flights to
China are available in January and February.
"We apologise to customers for the inconvenience, but the
safety of our customers and crew is always our priority," BA
said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. "Customers due to
travel to or from China in the coming days can find more
information on BA.com."
Britain on Tuesday advised against "all but essential"
travel to mainland China due to the coronavirus outbreak.
