Flight cancellations

Kenya Airways has
suspended commercial
flights to Liberia and Sierra
Leone – a temporary
measure based on a risk
assessment by Kenya’s
Ministry of Health. The airline
will offer a full refund for all
passengers holding tickets
for the cancelled flights.
The airline will continue
operating all its scheduled
flights to Nigeria and Ghana.
However, Kenya Airways’
ceo, Titus Naikuni, said
he reserved the right to
cancel flights to any other
destination should the
situation warrant it.
SAA continues to fly to
West Africa but has stepped
up measures to protect its
passengers, crew and ground
staff against the Ebola virus.
The measures include
ensuring that the airline has
in place vigilant staff who
will be on the lookout for
passengers who have visible
symptoms associated with
the virus. In cases where a
passenger at check-in may
have visible symptoms, they
will be isolated. Passenger
interviews and tests will
follow, conducted by the
health authorities. In the
event that there is any
doubt regarding the medical
condition of any suspected
passenger, SAA may deny the
passenger boarding”
