Reeling airlines hit again by Trump’s clampdown on Europe travel

Foreign nationals who’ve been in European nations excluding the U.K. in the previous two weeks won’t be able to enter the U.S. from midnight Friday

US President Donald Trump’s 30-day ban on Europeans traveling to the U.S. delivers a hammer blow to a global airline industry that was already at risk of losing as much as US$113 billion in passenger revenue this year because of the coronavirus.

Foreign nationals who’ve been in European nations excluding the U.K. in the previous two weeks won’t be able to enter the U.S. from midnight Friday, Trump said from the White House.
