Here's the relevant part for international flights:

"This Order must be followed by all passengers on public conveyances (e.g., airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, rideshares) traveling into, within, or out of the United States as well as conveyance operators (e.g., crew, drivers, conductors, and other workers involved in the operation of conveyances)." (Emphasis added.)

No airline -- foreign or domestic -- is forced to fly into or out of the United States. If a foreign airline chooses to serve the United States, it must comply with U.S. laws, rules, and regulations, including the emergency order issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I thought as much. I am at a loss to know quite how they can control matters once the aircraft has left United States air space. I suspect that homeward bound this will be honoured in the breach rather than the observance.
