Which longhaul routes to/from China will be cut by end of Q1 2020?
 
I am not sure whether this topic is covered in other threads, as well. Please point me to them, if possible.

With the coronavirus outbreak many airlines are issueing travel waivers for China. "High yield" business passenger may be barred from flying to China by company policy.
Moreover, tour group travel from China seem to be have been suspended, as well.
Even without the corona-virus outbreak, judging on the recent low J-fares, I assume that PVG and PEK are fighting with overcapacity.

My prediction on route cuts:
- LH FRA-PVG (seasonal late night departure from Frankfurt)
- OS VIE-PVG CONFIRMED - IT IS CUT
- HO DUB-HEL-PVG
- EK DXB-PVG (cut of one daily frequency)
- BA LHR-PVG (cut of one daily frequency) CONFIRMED - IT IS CUT
- KL AMS-PVG (cut of the second daily) CONFIRMED CUT
- CZ FRA-CSX-CAN
- MU FRA-PVG
- CX FRA-HKG (permanent cut of second daily)
- CA MUC-PVG
- AY HEL-PVG (cut of the second daily)
- CA ARN-PEK
- LH FRA-NKG cut confirmed
- LH FRA-SHE cut confirmed

- HU PRG-PEK
- CA PEK-MSQ-BUD
- LH MUC-PEK cut confirmed
- CA LHR-PEK (cut of second daily)
- MU CDG-PVG (cut of second daily)
- MU LAX-PVG (cut of second daily)
- MU ORD-PVG
- UA ORD-PVG cut confirmed
- DL LAX-PVG cut confirmed
- MU YVR-PVG (cut of second daily)
... and many more

Latest OAG shows HU cutting back PEK-SJC to one flight per week in March. I would say they will pull this flight.

So all BA flights from LHR to Mainland China (that means only to PEK and PVG) have been cut.

LH wants to cancel all flights to China.

Could we please discuss capacity reductions to/from China here !

warakorn Jan 30, 2020 6:48 am

Please be aware the list on the top consists of both forecasts and confirmed cuts.

warakorn Jan 30, 2020 2:13 pm

I think all predictions - made 4 days ago - will become true. Soon all fights in/out Mainland China will be cut.

So suppose some foreign national wants/needs to leave mainland China after about February 5th. What options are left? Mainland Chinese carriers such as MU and CZ to LAX? CX through HKG to LHR? SIN connections are out and it's not clear how long HKG will permit transit from mainland China originating passengers.

Am I missing something important here? After these three (+1 other post), there's a complaint - mostly on your own posts, it seems.

It all seems rather confusing. May we ask you to explain what your point is ?

Speculating, but the reducing availability of transportation options out of China (in addition to the infection) is probably why governments are advising their citizens against travel.

To your question, Qantas/JetStar/Air New Zealand may be options for now.

Add American to the list. Suspended through March 27. It's also been reported by major news networks that UA has suspended flights as well though can't find a formal press release from UA.

Looks confusing, but that's because it was posted in another thread that was merged with this one. Mod didn't leave a note about the merge, hence the appearance that this guy is off his rocker. :D

overcapacity?
 
The real question is whether (or not) commercial carriers have scheduled more flights to/from China going forward?
My guess is no. As one commentator said this week, China is too important a player in supply management for the Fortune 500. Also. its much easier to downguage e.g. replace a 787-9 with a 777. AC could do that YUL-PVG.
