Coronavirus ethiopian airlimes says they have no plan to stop china flights
According to recent reports, Ethiopian Airlines has stated that they have no plans to suspend flights to China despite the growing concerns over the coronavirus outbreak.
On January 24, 2020, Ethiopian Airlines announced that they would continue to operate their flights to and from China, including Beijing and Shanghai, as usual. The airline emphasized that they are closely monitoring the situation and are taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of their passengers and crew.
In a statement, Ethiopian Airlines said: "We are closely monitoring the situation and are taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of our passengers and crew. We have no plans to suspend our flights to China at this time."
It's worth noting that many other airlines have suspended their flights to China in response to the outbreak, including British Airways, Lufthansa, and Air France. However, Ethiopian Airlines has decided to continue operating their flights to China, citing the importance of maintaining connectivity between the two countries.
It's unclear what measures Ethiopian Airlines is taking to ensure the safety of their passengers and crew, but they have likely implemented additional protocols to minimize the risk of transmission. These may include enhanced cleaning and disinfection procedures, increased screening of passengers, and providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to crew members.
It's also important to note that the World Health Organization (WHO) has not recommended travel restrictions to China at this time, although they have advised against non-essential travel to the affected areas.
Passengers traveling to or from China on Ethiopian Airlines are advised to check with the airline for the latest information and to follow all instructions provided by the airline and local health authorities.
