AA will implement a suspension of long-haul international flights from the U.S. starting on March 16 until May. This change is in response to issues caused by coronavirus (COVID-19):
  • Reduce international capacity by 75% year over year — from March 16 to May 6
  • Continue to operate one flight daily from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to London (LHR), one flight daily from Miami (MIA) to LHR and three flights per week from DFW to Tokyo (NRT)
  • Continue short-haul international flying, which includes flights to Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America and certain markets in the northern part of South America, as scheduled
In addition to the international changes, the airline anticipates its domestic capacity in April will be reduced by 20% compared to last year and May’s domestic capacity will be reduced by 30% on a year over year basis.

 
Once the Americans get their testing into gear that domestic capacity will need to be trimmed further I think that is pretty much guaranteed.

Any news on VS.....?

Doubt AA will be the first to cut international hard.
Can't see QF or VA operating more than a few flights by the end of the week

If your overseas and want to get home, get on a flight now. There will be plenty of cancellations from tourists
