PARIS—Postal operators in the United States, China and elsewhere say the suspension of flights to slow the spread of a deadly new virus is having a major impact on global flows of letters and parcels.
In a note seen by The Associated Press, the United States Postal Service informed its counterparts around the world on Feb. 11 that it is “experiencing significant difficulties” in dispatching letters, parcels and express mail to China, including Hong Kong and Macau, “because most of its supplier airlines have suspended their flights” to those destinations.
