(ANSA) - BEIJING, 14 JAN - Three weeks before the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, China has suspended 26 air routes - including 4 from the United States and others from cities such as Melbourne, Frankfurt, Paris, Vancouver, Toronto, Milan and Cairo - due to Covid-19 infections.
The measure, announced by the civil aviation authority, aims to reduce the risks of imported cases, especially after the tensions that emerged in Shanghai, which yesterday reported 5 cases.
The stop, starting January 24, includes two flights each of American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, whose last flights carried, respectively, 7 and 9 positive passengers.
