 China Eastern Airlines’ flights from Colombo to Shanghai will be suspended for two weeks by China’s civil aviation regulator from July 26.

 

Flight MU232 was suspended after six passengers on another flight, MU714, from Colombo, Sri Lanka, to Kunming in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, tested positive for COVID-19 on July 6, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said today, the Chinese media reported.  

As MU714 was the return flight for MU232, the Colombo-Shanghai flight will be suspended, while the Colombo-Kunming flight will be canceled from next week, CAAC said.
