February 28, 2020, 10:10 AMMany countries, fearful of an outbreak, have been closing their borders for some or even all travelers.outbreak has already upended an entire industry, resulting in canceled flights, resorts on lockdown, and a deadly cruise ship quarantine. With the world bracing for a pandemic, experts say the travel sector should prepare for even more uncertainty ahead.Moreover, the decline in Chinese and other Asian tourists coming to the U.S."will translate into a loss of $7.
IATA CEO Alexandre de Juniac said that due to the coronavirus, his organization is forecasting the first overall decline in air travel demand since the financial crash of 2008-2009.are making difficult decisions to cut capacity and in some cases routes," he said in a statement."This will be a very tough year for airlines."
Crew members aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship are seen at its wheelhouse at the Daikoku Pier Cruise Terminal in Yokohama port in Japan, Feb. 27, 2020.Delta, United and American Airlines have all suspended all flights to mainland China through late April -- and American and United have suspended flights to Hong Kong as well.
The suspension of U.S. flights to China has also had a big impact on the rest of the region, according to Berg, because many flights to Asian destinations connect through China. For example, about half the U.S. flights to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam rely on a transfer in China.

TheWarMonitor I think it will top out at $737..Max
Can always make more money,cannot replace your life.
I would like to know what the fuss is about over the common cold? Or is it that it's called by its real name, and no one knows what it's name really is.
It hasn't 'cost' anyone ANYTHING!!! It's money that they may not have made in the first place.
Oh so the rich can’t vacation....
Get Corona Virus Full Protection At: Buy Face Masks, Glasses And Gloves And Help Stop The Spread... Create awareness
Good for the fight against climate change.
That should bolster the stock market.
BTW: ‘LoveLess’ Loveboat/Princess Line & GOV. Had NO Business Letting The People Off Their Ship Without Immediate Quarantines! The Company took a laissez faire attitude when informed of poor customer relations & safety issues before this disaster!
Will there be sale sale of airfares I’m waiting!
how reassuring for the airline customers or is it simply heartless confirmation that the airline business is profiteering by a true lack of competition
Fear
Many countries, fearful of an outbreak, have been closing their borders for some or even all travelers.
The airlines subject all passengers to nonstop misinformation from CNN The airline industry can now suffer. Karma.
Enjoy your tax breaks......
Is that fool about to go swimming with a face mask
My heart bleed for them outbreak of COVID-19 disease cost airline industry nearly $30 billion what about the cost of climate changes & cost of people deaths.
HSydneyHC But they still fly infected carriers around, who is going to pick up the millions in health care costs? The poxy airlines? Or the poor sucker tax payers?
Don’t worry Dr. Pence is on it!!
Bring me your discount first class seats ... and let it be enough to remove those stupid spend thresholds for elite flyers. If I fly the miles that should be enough. I'd fly into ground zero to keep my status.
Airlines should take this rare opportunity to UPGRADE inflight air circulation filtration oxygen tech, and passenger cabin separating system (disruptive sickly people section, parents w/kids section) then advertise upgrades to entice customers
I’m sorry... what in the hell is that man doing?😳😳🤷♀️😳😳🤷♀️
I cancelled a trip to Ft. Myers.... 😷
I'm confused. Are we suppose to be happy? I don't know how much we hate rich people/job providers this week.
HOW ABOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE PEOPLE, OR THEIR COSTS FOR SUBPAR HEALTHCARE OR TO BE TOLD THERES NO TESTING!? The airlines and economy will recover, sadly the same wont be said for many lost lives.. PRIORITIES MEDIA, PRIORITIES...🤨😐
I'ma swoop up those discount tickets as soon as this all over
Damn damn damn!!!
EvanLSolomon Reduction of evil CO2 🤡 means less of this hopefully CO2isPlantFood
EvanLSolomon Interesting: Climatechange protestors, GretaThunberg being one, has repeatedly said airplane travel is the 1 thing humans do that contributes to GlobalWarming ... always seems to be another side of a story... this one is good.
Uh! Oh! Here come higher flight costs!
The number of Americans who have canceled or avoided spring travel plans increased 54% in the last week (from 13% to 20%).
EvanLSolomon “The outbreak” ... or media sensationalism driving panic.
not a good time to travel with .. you don't know where in the world people have been.. who they have been in contact with.. in fact the only way this virus has spread around the world is through
If they make more leg room people will come back.
2020 turns out to be bad luck for the world
Well, maybe they’ll have to space the seats out and stop nickel and diming the passengers to attract some business. Maybe serve meals? Complimentary drinks? Ahhh.
And you will only have the Demorats to blame...
China has done a very good job.....at spreading the virus worldwide.
Does it “cost” them that or is that revenue that the American people can now spend elsewhere?
Yeah but they're doing wonders for the environment.
On the beach, Possible i leave my money with him.
Who cares? Revenge of the 🐕
Hype it up and add to the problems, whydontcha ? Half the reason this is happening is because of the fearmongering from the media Why don’t you give some safe travel tips instead ? YOU are a big part of the problem CoronaVirus media SaturdayMorning Coronavid19
Springbreaks are around the corner, so be the virus. All take vacations.
And excellent deals.
And why is there a man with no clothes on the photo?
Is that Jeffery Epstein?
Well ,looks like you can recline your seat now.

Yeah...I’m foregoing the cruise this year.
do nothing-dems' negligence n unwillingness to eliminate/minimize the viruses, contagious diseases, epidemics-hazards at our broken borders by funding the barrier n securing our borders is pure evil. should we wait for disaster to strike first?
Good.

Flu shot better than last year, despite tough season for kids - ABC News - via
Say goodbye to the earnings reports for the next two quarters. Hold your cash boys, it's going to be time to buy.
People are getting sick and dying sorry if I don’t care about airlines
We don't need airplanes. Flying is not sustainable for non-important trips, like vacations and stuff.
ccp is fully responsible for this total loss! Sue chinese government sue stupid ccp!
I bet they don't know how dumb they are. If you don't have the flu or virus wearing a mask is useless. It's to keep your germs in.
Nothing like wearing a mask then touching all over a deck of cards with four other people. Introverts will be just fine I guess.
no need to panic, according to GretaThunberg, the ecosystem collapse will kill us long before this virus will. greta is not worried about the infected people in sweden, she is worried about sweden melting.
The virus is spread by air AND hands. Notice the player picking up his cards then adjusting & readjusting his face mask? The playing cards are touched by all 4, if anyone is infected they are infecting the others. Just wearing a mask & gloves won’t keep you safe! Self quarantine!
Going forward, please specify “independent experts” “whitehouse filtered experts” or “WHO experts” It matters.
Only four idiots who wear a mask just to make a video. Nothing more.
Face masks. All the germs on their hands, clothing, playing cards, etc etc will go where when the masks come off along with everything else? Just wondering.
Some of them are not wearing gloves so there he goes spreading 🦠
OMG lol!! What next, play for money, then shake hands when the game is over!!🤣
Really ABC? 😒
I just wanna know who won the match though...
It's way more complicated than that
Then what is up with that CDC graphic with the acceptable facial hair for face masks?
Kings play cards on fat green stools.
Sorry folks but Delta is going to need that bonus back.
MSM says all Americans should at this point stay home. Do not send your kids to school nor should you go to work. Do Not stock up on food as it’s contaminated too.
When international flights R selling 4 $100rt 2 Europe I'm going there fast.
Actually I think this is conservative only because US domestic will take a major hit!
CATHERINENEVER2 They’ll make smaller airplanes with less air filters, and smaller seats. And charge us more. Problem solved.
Once a month they need a mandatory scrub down add 10 bucks to my ticket 🎫 saves me the 100’s lost on time lost and medicines and doctors visits ...jet Blue is the filthiest 🛫✈️🛬 airline they should rename themselves Petri dish airlines ..fughetaboutit 🧐
Drop the prices, maybe people will travel
This is such BS
Boo hoo
Why have NONE of the so-called journalists in the Mainstream Media sought to report on and figure out the true origin of COVID-19?
Good. They rob us anyway and r gonna raise prices I’m sure
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let’s say you’re on a wuhan flight and possibly getting corona virus. Do you recline?
