What are the arrangements for Air China, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines and China Eastern Airlines?
What foreign airlines are continuing China routes?
Overseas travelers who are stranded overseas or want to return home because of something prefer domestic airlines. Industry insiders suggest that they can give preference to domestic airlines to fly back to China or transit through areas such as Tokyo and Dubai where there is no change in visa policies. In addition, transit passengers should pay attention to the relevant policy requirements for transit visas in each country before departure to avoid travel inconvenience.
At present, all airlines under the AVIC group, including Air China, are available. Air China, for example. After all, as a phone, it has more than 300 routes around the world. Air Canada is currently grounding its China routes, so travelers stranded in Canada can choose Air China. The overseas routes are all fairly stable at the moment, with some cancellations.
In addition to continuing to fly routes, on New Year's Day, AVIC began an "epidemic" of civil aviation warfare. By Jan. 30, AVIC had carried out 13 charter flights, transporting 1,179 medical personnel and 80 tons of supplies.

02. Can I still fly when the cabin is closed?
With the cabin closed, is it susceptible to viruses?
According to the authoritative release: so far, the civil aviation crew and cabin crew did not have a person infected with the new pneumonia virus during the flight! Airplanes are still the safest form of transportation.
Because the cabin of an airplane is a closed environment, the airplane's air conditioning system becomes the key to ensuring clean air in the cabin and preventing the spread of germs. Modern aircraft cabin air-conditioning systems provide passengers with a clean and comfortable cabin environment through air induction systems, ozone converters, air-conditioning components, mixed gas collection rings, recirculation systems, cabin ventilation systems and cabin pressure control systems.
The recirculation system and Hepa air filters
make the cabin compliant with operating room standards.
Thirty-five to 50 percent of modern aircraft cabin air enters the recirculation system. The air is filtered to create clean air, which is mixed with air delivered from the air conditioning assembly in a mixing collector ring and reintroduced into the cabin.
The recirculation system provides a very high level of clean recirculated air, due in large part to the High Efficiency Particulate Filter (Hepa) system used in most modern airplanes. These air filters are highly efficient. After the air is filtered through the Hepa air filter, 99.97% of bacteria and virus particles are removed. This air filter is similar to the air filters used in hospitals for organ transplants, burns treatment and other key wards, and has a much higher filtration efficiency than other transportation and office buildings.
According to information, Hepa air filters can remove more than 99.97% of airborne particles with a diameter of 0.003 microns. Typical airborne bacteria are over 1 micron in size, while viruses are about 0.003 to 0.5
When the circulating air mixes with the outside air supplied by the air conditioning components in the gas mixture collection ring, the ozone residual in the outside air has a sterilizing effect that completely eliminates any viruses and bacteria that may still be present in the circulating air. So the air that ends up in the cabin can be considered very clean.
Cabin air circulation model, from the World Health Organization.
The air in the cabin circulates mainly in cross-sections, like a "ham sausage" sliced with a certain thickness, and flows from top to bottom in each section, layered from front to back. This ensures the cleanliness of the air in each unit area to a certain extent.
Crews are replacing air filters. Currently, the cabin recirculation system is equipped with high-efficiency particulate air filters with a regular replacement mandate. The existing effective measures are sufficient to ensure the freshness and cleanliness of the air in the recirculation system.
The crew is disinfecting the cabins.
Flight guide to the new coronavirus infection outbreak
Take China Southern Airlines as an example. For passengers who need to travel in the near future, you are advised to check the following flight guidelines (formulated in accordance with the relevant working requirements of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the General Administration of Customs (GAC)) and strengthen your own protection to ensure a smooth trip.
1. Reasonable planning of travel time. At present, airports around the world have already taken measures to prevent and control this, such as measuring body temperature and filling out health declaration forms. It is recommended that you make reasonable arrangements to arrive at the airport to allow sufficient time for the implementation of preventive and control measures.
2. Wear a mask. You should wear a mask at the airport or in the cabin.
3. Carry a signing pen with you. So that you can fill out the relevant forms.
4. Take the initiative to take a temperature test. Please cooperate with the relevant departments and take the initiative to have your body temperature tested.
5. Since January 28, China Southern Airlines has adjusted the relevant standards for in-flight meals and the Pearl Lounge, effectively reducing close contact between people and thus blocking the spread of the epidemic in the cabin and the lounge to a certain extent.
How to prevent the new coronavirus?
1. Keep your hands clean. Wash your hands with running water or use an antibacterial hand sanitizer containing alcohol after coughing, before and after meals, and after touching or handling animal feces.
2. Keep indoor air circulating. Avoid closed, stuffy public **** places and crowded places, and wear a mask if necessary.
3. Cover your mouth and nose with tissue paper or bend your elbow when coughing or sneezing to prevent droplet transmission. Do not rub your eyes or touch mucous membranes after sneezing.
