Aero-News Quote of the Day

"While contracting Ebola in-flight is highly unlikely, the globalization of today's aviation industry requires that new, stronger measures must be implemented to protect passengers and crew. AFA will continue to meet with government and airline officials to work on identifying methods that can more thoroughly screen passengers for Ebola before they board a flight. We will advocate for all measures necessary to ensure the health and safety of our members."
