United Airlines extended its suspension of flights to China and Hong Kong through April 24 because of the coronavirus, according to Chicago Business. 

The Chicago-based carrier does the most flying to China among the major U.S. airlines, with about a dozen flights a day to Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai and Hong Kong. It previously had suspended its China flights through March 28 and Hong Kong flights through Feb. 20, the news media said. 

“We will continue to monitor the situation in China and evaluate our schedule as we remain in close contact with the CDC and other public health experts around the globe,” United said.
