Taipei, Jan. 22 (CNA) China Airlines (CAL), one of Taiwan's largest carriers, said Wednesday that had canceled some of its roundtrip flights to Wuhan, China, scheduled for February.

In light of the escalating outbreak of a new communicable respiratory disease originating in the central Chinese city, flights between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Wuhan will be canceled Feb. 10-27, the airline said.

Passengers already booked on those flights — CI541 and CI542 — will be given assistance to change to other airlines, if they wish, CAL said.

Meanwhile, the airline said it had issued a directive for its cabin crews to wear surgical masks on flights between Taiwan and China, Hong Kong, and Macau, with effect from 5 p.m. Wednesday.
