Scandinavian airline SAS AB (SAS.SK) Wednesday said it had created a temporary base in Beijing, China, for its flights between Copenhagen and Tokyo, where aircraft can refuel and change crew.
Virgin Atlantic continues to base crew in Tokyo.

BA is allowing customers travelling to Tokyo up to April 10 the opportunity to rebook flights at a later date or to put the cost of their tickets toward the purchase of tickets to other destinations. Those traveling until March 21 can claim refunds.
