REUTERS/Francois Lenoir/File PhotoThe Belgian carrier had previously grounded flights until Apr. 19 but said it was extending that by four weeks because of"low to no demand", owing to travel restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

Airlines have been among the hardest-hit industries as the spread of the COVID-19 respiratory disease trigerred by the new coronavirus has brought travel to a grinding halt in many parts of the world.
