Regional carrier AirAsia on Monday announced the extension of suspension of all flights to and from Wuhan in China, the epicenter of the 2019 novel coronavirus (nCoV).

In an advisory, AirAsia said flights from Kota Kinabalu, Bangkok, and Phuket to Wuhan, China are suspended until February 15, 2020.

"AirAsia is also making provisions for guests with flight bookings to/from all destinations in mainland China to obtain credit account or full refund," the advisory read.

"From the Philippines, these include Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou," it added.

AirAsia earlier clarified that it does not operate direct Philippine flights to and from Wuhan, China.

"Certain destinations within AirAsia’s flight network have imposed travel bans for guests based on nationalities, cities of origin, travel history or the purpose of travel. Options are available to AirAsia guests who were affected by the flight changes and travel bans," the carrier said. —LDF, GMA News
