European airlines cancel flights to China

European airlines are canceling routes to China.

Thus, the Polish LOT cancels all flights from Warsaw to Beijing in the winter season 2024/2025. Scandinavian SAS stops flying on the Copenhagen — Shanghai route from November 8. The Lufthansa canceling daily flights from Frankfurt to Beijing, and also plans to cancel flights between Munich and Beijing. British Airways suspends flights from London to Beijing.

In 2022, European countries closed their airspace to Russian air carriers. In response, Russia also closed the skies to European companies. Now airlines from Europe are forced to fly around the territory of Russia, which has significantly increased travel time and fuel costs. Whereas Chinese airlines continue to use direct routes.
