Easy solution - don't fly there - and don't accept their flights either

Yeah. Easy. Ignore the actual world and just don’t fly there.

Speaking as a former dispatcher,if that flight was more than halfway, then it needed to divert to an alternate or it was very close to being empty upon its return... very unsettling and dangerous of China to not inform those companies BEFORE departing..

I say cancel all flight to ð¨ð³, take a boat!
