Delta turned flight around mid-air, saying China's new Covid cleaning rules are unworkable
CNN
A Delta Air Lines flight originating in Seattle and heading to Shanghai last week turned around midair because of a change in cleaning rules at the China airport, the airline said.
If it had landed in Shanghai, Delta said the new rules would have caused substantial delays.
"The new cleaning procedures require significantly extended ground time and are not operationally viable for Delta," a spokesperson said of the December 21 flight. Details of the new cleaning rules remain unclear.
