Nearly 585 international flights have been cancelled to and from India between February 1 and March 6 because of the outbreak of coronavirus. As many as 16 international airlines have cancelled 492 flights and four private Indian airlines have cancelled 93 flights during this period.

According to data available with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, reviewed by BusinessLine, Malaysian carrier Malindo Air (80 flights) and Singapore-based Silk Air (67 flights) have cancelled the most number of flights to and from India.

On a weekly basis, IndiGo has cancelled the highest number of flights at 42.
