I know that, if I was in the Airline industry, I’d be close to frantic. Have any airlines actually planned for something like this? If they have, it’s probably been minimal. They have such a small margin in the best of times that their ability to be proactive is limited. The best thing they could do now is not fly into West Africa and not accept transfer passengers. That’s a big hit they may not feel they can take. It would be the right thing though.
If you’re an airline and HAVEN’T taken maximum security precautions, you’re liable infinitely.
