Due to the COVID-19 (covid, in short) epidemic in South Korea and Japan, Lao Airlines has suspended scheduled flights from Vientiane to Busan, Incheon and deferred its inaugural flight to Kumamoto, Japan from 18 March 2020 to an undisclosed date.
Lao Airlines has suspended flights to Busan and Incheon since 29 February 2020. It plans to resume flights to these cities from 1 April 2020.
The Lao national flag carrier says although Lao PDR does not have any covid case, its profits have shrinked by 50 per cent due to the earlier suspension of flights to China. It has resumed flights to Kunming, Xishuangbanna, Guangzhou, Changsha, Chengdu, Changzhou and Pudong following the relaxation of international flights from China.
To reduce further losses, 30 per cent of Lao Airlines' employees are now on no-pay leave. Lao Airlines has more than 1000 employees.
