Several airlines are offering lower prices for flights to Asia, while others have reduced their services to the region due to falling demand.
Airlines have been struggling to fill plane seats for flights to Asia, with fears over the coronavirus deterring people from traveling. Some carriers are offering lower fares to various major cities in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea.
Return flights to those Asian cities are listed around $460 for select dates in March and April, according to travel booking websites including Expedia, Travelocity, and Skyscanner.Singapore Airlines and SilkAir announced it"will temporarily reduce services across our network due to weak demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak," in a statement on Tuesday.
JetStar, a subsidiary of Qantas, will also cut its Asia flight capacity by 14 percent by the end of May, affecting service to Japan, Thailand, and flights within Asia.
