The announcement covers the period up to the end of March
Virgin Atlantic has extended the suspension of its flights to mainland China by six weeks amid growing concern over the coronavirus.
The airline said it will not operate its Heathrow-Shanghai route until March 28.
It had previously announced that flights were cancelled until February 17.
A spokesman for the airline said: "The health and safety of our customers and staff remains our absolute priority.
"We continue to monitor the coronavirus situation very carefully, including the latest guidance from the World Health Organisation and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, which on Tuesday issued new guidance to UK citizens to leave China if they are able to do so.
