German airline group Lufthansa said on March 2 that it was extending the suspension of flights to China until April 24, to Tehran until April 30, and reducing services to northern Italy due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The epidemic, which began in China, is disrupting flight demand and many airlines have suspended or adjusted services in response.
