American Airlines has extended its suspension of flights between the United States and mainland China and Hong Kong until late April, it announced on Feb. 10, as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned of the coronavirus outbreak as a global threat potentially worse than terrorism.

All flights from the United States to Shanghai and Beijing from the airline’s Dallas-Fort Worth and Los Angeles hubs will be suspended until April 24, while flights from its Texas and Los Angeles hubs will not recommence until April 23 and 24 respectively, American Airlines said in a statement.
