China’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) recently has issued circuit breaker directives on 9 flights. Let’s check the details and plan your trip to China in advance.
Suspension on These Flights
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has issued “circuit breaker” directives on several airlines’ flights to China as some passengers on these flights have been tested positive for coronavirus.
The involved domestic and overseas airlines include:
- Air China
- Sriwijaya Air
- Xiamen Airlines
- KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
- Kenya Airways
- China Southern Airlines
- Shenzhen Airlines
The list of airlines and flights that got the directives is as follows. If you’ve planned to fly to China in recent days and bought the tickets for the involved flights, please contact the airlines as soon as possible.
On April 19, CAAC issued the circuit breaker directives on two flights. Air China’s flight CA946 and Sriwijaya Air’s flight SJ3184 will be suspended for two weeks from April 26.
On April 23, CAAC issued the directives on three flights. Xiamen Airlines’ flight MF820, KLM Airlines’ flight KL831 and Kenya Airways’ flight KQ882 will be suspended from April 26. The suspension period of the above-mentioned flights is two weeks.
According to the notice issued on April 25, CAAC issued the directives on four flights and cancelled a reward flight. Air China’s flight CA942, China Southern Airlines’ flight CZ3056 and Shenzhen Airlines’ flight ZH9052 will be suspended for two weeks from April 26. Shenzhen Airlines’ flight ZH8058 will also be suspended since it is a reward flight of ZH9052.
Air China’s flight CA946will be further suspended for two weeks from May 10 since more passengers have been found positive in their nucleic acid test. This means the total suspension period of the flight is four weeks.
