US airlines slash flights over virus crisis
United States' airlines have announced drastic reductions in flights after President Donald Trump's administration banned foreign travellers arriving from Europe.
American Airlines said it would reduce all international capacity by 75 per cent.
"This suspension will last through May 6," the carrier said. "This change is in response to decreased demand and changes to US government travel restrictions due to coronavirus."
Its competitor Delta said it would "significantly reduce its US to Europe flying beginning Monday, March 16, following the US government directive restricting travel between the US and Europe."
