Airlines were quick to suspend flights to mainland China following the outbreak of the deadly new coronavirus reacting to reduced demand and hoping to help prevent its spread.

Some airlines even went as far as to cutting service to Chinese territories outside of the mainland including Hong Kong and Macau.

With most foreign airlines divested from China for now, airlines are now taking a look at where the virus has spread outside of China to determine which routes are vulnerable and require temporary suspension.

Air routes between the US and foreign countries outside of China are beginning to be affected. Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines became the first two US-flagged carriers to cut service on routes that don't touch Chinese territory, with foreign carriers beginning to scale back US service as well.

Take a look at which airlines and routes are affected.
