DETROIT – Delta Air Lines will temporarily suspend all U.S. to China flights, starting next week, due to coronavirus concerns, the company announced Friday.

The suspension of service will begin Feb. 6 and will last through April 30. Until then, Delta will continue to operate flights to ensure customers looking to exit China have options to do so.
