WHO: 'Vital' to Resume Flights to Ebola-Hit Countries
WHO has declared Ebola an international health emergency, but has insisted
repeatedly that trade and travel restrictions are not the answer

GENEVA, Switzerland - The World Health Organization on Thursday said it
was vital that airlines resume flights to Ebola-hit west Africa, warning
that suspension of flights was threatening efforts to beat the epidemic.
"Right now there is a super risk of the response effort being choked off
because we simply cannot get enough seats on enough airplanes to get
people in and out, and get goods and supplies in," WHO's emergency chief
Bruce Aylward told reporters as he launched a nine-month Ebola battle
plan.
"We assume that the current restrictions on airlines will stop within the
next couple of weeks," he told reporters. "This is absolutely vital."

But in the face of the spiraling Ebola toll in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra
Leone and Nigeria, airlines have reduced and suspended flights.
.
"There's got to be global preparedness. There's got to be preparedness in
major transport hubs. But bans on travel and trade will not stop this
virus. In fact, you are more likely to compromise the ability to respond,"
said Aylward.
.
"It's a self-defeating strategy to ban travel," he added. "That's not the
problem. People with Ebola are symptomatic. You can exit screen" flights
leaving the affected countries by taking passengers temperatures, which
can "substantively reduce risk".
.
On Wednesday, Air France became the latest carrier to announce a
suspension of its service to Sierra Leone, while British Airways said it
was stopping its flights to Freetown and Monrovia until next year.
.
Royal Air Morocco is now the only airline providing a regular service to
the capitals of Sierra Leone and Liberia, while Brussels Airlines offer an
irregular schedule.
.
The UN envoy on Ebola, David Nabarro, this week criticized airlines for
scrapping flights, warning that Ebola-hit countries faced increased
isolation and made it harder for the UN to carry out its work.
