The UN aviation agency is urging governments and international flight operators to continue applying strong safety measures as a deadly Ebola strain spreads in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). UN News reports that the outbreak is ongoing in the DRC, and that cases have also been confirmed in neighbouring Uganda. The agency says airline and aviation authorities should closely follow existing guidelines established during the COVID-19 pandemic, applying similar public health and operational precautions for air travel. The guidance is directed at both states and flight operators, emphasizing adherence to measures designed to reduce the risk of disease transmission in aviation settings. Both outlets describe the same core message: in the face of the Ebola outbreak, aviation stakeholders should remain compliant with recommended safety procedures and ensure these steps are maintained and implemented consistently. The reporting does not provide new airline policy changes beyond this call to follow the established safety framework.
