Med bekymringen om at Wuhan coronavirus fortsætter med at sprede sig, har Cathay Pacific og Air China begge indført gratis annullering af billetter. Dette gælder dog kun på rejser, der involverer det kinesiske fastland.

Cathay Pacifics nuværende politik er som følger:

Med øjeblikkelig virkning frafalder ombooking, omdirigering og refusionsomkostninger for alle billetter, der er udstedt over hele verden (uanset billetype) den/før den 24. januar 2020 til rejser med Cathay Pacific eller Cathay Dragon. Dog er det gældende, at man ifølge billetten ankommer til eller flyver fra Kina mellem d. 24 januar 2020 og 29 februar 2020.

Herunder kan du læse hvad der er gældende for rejser med Cathay Pacific/Cathay Dragon.

Air China wants to actively speed up the refund responses. Thank you for your understanding and support. In order to carry out the joint prevention and control of the 2019-nCoV epidemic and implement the requirements established by Civil Aviation Administration of China, passengers who have booked tickets for flights operated by Air China and CA-coded flights operated by Air China with a ticket number beginning with 999, including mileage award tickets, can voluntarily refund their tickets from 0:00 am on January 24, 2020, and Air China and all of its ticket sales agencies should not charge refund fee.

Konklusion

Står du og skal rejse med et andet flyselskab (end de nævnte i artiklen) til Kina og er bekymret pga. Corona virusen, så anbefales det at du holder øje med flyselskabets sociale medier samt flyselskabets hjemmeside for seneste nyt. Det er nemlig meget sandsynligt, at andre flyselskaber snart vil indføre ligende undtagelser for passagerer, der er planlagt til at flyve ruter der involverer det kinesiske fastland.
