Delta and United are resuming flights to China for the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak began

Delta and United announced their first flights to China since the coronavirus pandemic began. They last flew to China on February 6.

On Thursday, Delta operated its first flight to China since February 6. The flight was set to operate from Seattle to Shanghai via Seoul, South Korea. At press time, the plane was en route from Seoul for the second segment of the flight.

The stop in Seoul is designed to prevent crewmembers from having to disembark or lay over in China, due to the risk of potential quarantine requirements, according to The Points Guy. Before travel demand to China cratered during the initial COVID-19 outbreak, United operated five daily flights between Shanghai and its hubs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Newark.
