BA Suspends Flights To Sierra Leone And Liberia

Cites Ebola Outbreak As Reason For The Month-Long Break In Service

British Airways will not be flying to Sierra Leone and Liberia in Africa for a month due to the ebola outbreak in both countries.

In a statement, BA said that it had "temporarily suspended our flights to and from Liberia and Sierra Leone until 31 August 2014 due to the deteriorating public health situation in both countries.

"The safety of our customers, crew and ground teams is always our top priority and we will keep the routes under constant review in the coming weeks.

"Customers with tickets on those routes are being offered a range of options including a full refund and the ability to rebook their flights to a later date."

Buying Business Travel reports that the airline had been operating flights four times weekly from Heathrow to the two countries. The move comes after Emirates suspended all service to Conakry in Guinea "until further notice" because of the disease.
