Study shows travel demand across whole Asia Pacific region has slumped due to the epidemic. FMTNews Coronovirus

Thai nationals returning from Wuhan, China, are received by medical staff in protective suits at U-Tapao airport, Thailand.

ForwardKeys, a travel analytic company, said that airline bookings from across the region were 10.5% lower for March and April 2020 compared with last year. That drop excludes trips to and from China and Hong Kong. Mobile World Congress, an annual telecoms industry gathering of 100,000 people, for example, was cancelled on Wednesday.

Dozens of airlines, including American Airlines and British Airways, have already suspended all their flights to China until April as demand from the world’s No 2 economy plunged and internal travel restrictions took hold.
