2 flights grounded over COVID-19 fears
Print Edition
Two international flights to Shanghai have been suspended for two weeks by China鈥檚 civil aviation regulator.
Lufthansa鈥檚 Flight LH728 from Frankfurt to Shanghai will be put on hold from Monday after five passengers on a flight from Germany tested positive for COVID-19 on October 26, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said yesterday.
Aeroflot-Russian Airlines鈥 Flight SU208 from Moscow to Shanghai, which has been suspended multiple times, will be grounded from November 29 after another five passengers on a flight from Moscow tested positive for COVID-19 on October 29, it said.
The Russian airline was earlier punished by the CAAC in August and June, when, too, five passengers each time tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
In May, the airline was penalized as eight passengers tested positive. It was forced to cap the load factor, or percentage of seats filled, to no more than 40 percent for four weeks.
The same flight has been suspended several times since October last year. It was halted for a week on October 19 after eight travelers tested positive on October 2.
The ban was extended to four weeks due to 11 passengers testing positive on October 9.
