Re: Coronavirus
My guess it will either be Air Canada or a government plane if Canadian military has anything capable, or maybe they will outsource to US, I can't find anything beyond vague articles saying Canada is planning to send a plane but no mention of who is providing the plane, but if going with a passenger airline, my money would be on Air Canada.

Re: Coronavirus
US issued a level 4 red warning urging USC not to travel to China at all.
Previous warning was to avoid non-essential travel.
As of 12:45am PST Canada still showing only to avoid non-essential travel.
AA pilots in the US are trying to get a court order to force the airline to suspend flights, the crews dont want to fly to China they typically spend 32 hours on layover before their return back to the US.
