Major airlines have halted flights in and out of China, where a lockdown has been imposed in the worst-affected areas, while several countries have banned arrivals from China. Mounir was speaking in Singapore to reporters at Asia's biggest air show, which has seen over 70 exhibitors withdraw and a fall in visitor numbers due to virus fears.
The vast exhibition centre hosting the four-day show has been unusually empty, pockmarked by empty booths of companies who have pulled out.
