.Some airlines have already suspended or cut back flights since the summer, and only one European carrier now offers direct services to Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. However, those still operating have taken measures to protect passengers and crew, along with airports in the region and beyond.
.The Dallas Ebola case, involving a man who returned to the United States from Liberia last month, has led to worries about a spread of the virus outside West Africa, where at least 3,338 people have died in the worst outbreak on record.
.Shares in airline and travel stocks fell on Thursday, with European travel and leisure shares down 1 per cent, against a 0.6 per cent fall for European stocks.
.The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Thursday that the Ebola crisis has taken on a new dimension with the case in the United States, but it repeated that flying remained safe.
.The virus is not transmitted through air, but by contact with bodily fluids and is contagious only once there are symptoms such as fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. These symptoms are so crippling that it is nearly impossible for anyone suffering them to board a plane, experts say.
.The World Health Organisation (WHO) has not placed any restrictions on travel and has encouraged airlines to keep flying to the worst-hit regions.
