Emirates has become the latest airline to announce a suspension of all passenger flights due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The airline, which operates flights between Newcastle and Dubai, will halt flights by Wednesday but will continue to run its cargo air service, which has not been as severely affected.

It is the latest airline to announce suspensions after similar moves by competitors including Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2.

Eurostar also said it would be cutting its timetable due to reduced demand due to Covid-19.

The Cross-Channel rail operator ran 10 trains on Friday, compared with its usual schedule of 56.

The reduced timetable consists of three trains between London and Paris and two between London and Brussels, in each direction.

No services will operate between London and Amsterdam, Disneyland Paris or the French Alps.
