Amazing how the hysteria continues. AC didn’t suspend its China flights because of their concerns of public health.
They didn’t suspend due to any government requests to do so, nor any border closures.
They didn’t suspend because they had a lack of crews willing to staff those flights.
They suspended the flights only because nobody was taking them due to fear. The last couple of Dreamliner departures from YVR contained only 40-50 passengers. AC’s decision was purely a (insufficient) revenue generated one. In other words, the customers suspended the service, not the airline.
Add to that AC has a Chinese based partner airline that they can codeshare onto.
