United Airlines Holdings Inc., the biggest U.S. carrier on trans-Pacific routes, is paring more service to Asia as travel demand sinks because of the outbreak of the new coronavirus.

The U.S. carrier is canceling flights from Los Angeles and Houston to Tokyo’s Narita airport from March 8 to April 24. Service from Chicago to Narita will be scrapped March 8 to March 27, the company said in an email Friday. United is also reducing the frequency of flights on routes such as Newark, New Jersey, to Narita, and San Francisco to Singapore and South Korea.
