The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is monitoring events concerning the recent cases of ‘swine influenza’.
Guidelines for managing suspected communicable diseases during such public health events have been developed by IATA, in consultation with WHO, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Airports Council International (ACI).
Authorities at various airports around the world are on heightened alert for symptoms and airport staff are monitoring passengers for signs of illness when they are processed at check-in.
Emirates® is in full compliance with these measures and staff at airports where we operate have been asked to monitor the situation and share any information with airport authorities.
Emirates® has experienced no cancellations or changes to scheduled services at this time.
