The WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the
Influenza A (H1N1) Virus. In its statement on 1 May 2009: http://www.who.int/csr/
disease/swineflu/guidance/public_health/travel_advice/en/index.html.
The WHO advises: “It is considered prudent for people who are ill to delay
international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel
to seek medical attention, in line with guidance from national authorities. Individuals
are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and
should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illness.”
Therefore the focus of the international response now is on minimising the impact
of the virus through the rapid identification of cases and providing patients with
appropriate medical care, rather than on stopping its spread internationally.
2. Checks on arriving passengers at airports are not considered
efficient in stopping the spread of the disease
In response to enquiries from airports, ACI World has also clarified with the WHO
whether the imposition of checks (e.g., the taking of a passenger’s temperature or
the use of thermal scanners) on arriving passengers was considered an efficient
means of preventing the spread of this virus. ACI World was advised that in the
case of influenza, the virus can be transmitted from person to person before the
onset of symptoms (including fever). Furthermore scientific research, which has
been validated by historical records of previous influenza pandemics, concludes that
such measures will have limited or no benefit in stopping the spread of the disease.
Accordingly, the imposition of such checks is not considered efficient in preventing
the spread of the virus.
3. The raising by the WHO of the influenza pandemic alert level to
Phase 5 reflects the geographic spread of the disease, not its severity
When the Director General, WHO raised the influenza pandemic alert level to Phase
5, on 29 April 2009, many apparently interpreted this as an increase in the severity
of the disease. This is incorrect. It simply reflects the spread of the outbreak
geographically. A summary of the different phases is available at: http://www.who.

March 2009 Traffic Statistics

March passenger and freight traffic remains depressed
- ACI concerned about impact of Swine Influenza -
GENEVA, 30 April 2009 –
Traffic data for freight traffic points to December 2008/ January 2009 as its lowest
ebb point. Although the results remain very low, the declines have further softened
in March. Total freight was down by 18 percent for the month and 20 percent for
the first quarter; international traffic fell by 22.5 percent against 24.5 percent for
the quarterly results. Recovery from this catastrophic slump is expected to take
quite some time, but freight trends are mildly pointing up with better March results
compared to Q1 results across all regions. The improvement is lead by the Middle
East which has registered positive growth for the first time since November 2008.
There are equally signs that the passenger traffic decline
has reached the bottom of the downward trend. Data
indicates that domestic travel, as well as international
traffic in Asia Pacific, could lead the beginnings of an
upturn. Further declines in international traffic in the rest
of the world are the result of a distortion due to the fact
that Easter holidays were in March last year and in April
this year.
These results and analysis for March and first quarter
2009 do not yet take into account the impact of the
outbreak of swine influenza now witnessed in a limited
number of nations. At the time of this release, the World
Health Organization (WHO) has not issued any travel
advisories nor recommended border closings. ACI and its
members will continue to monitor this situation closely
and comply with any new directives from the WHO and
national health authorities.
ACI Director of Health, Security and Facilitation, Craig
Bradbrook, comments, “While the swine influenza
outbreak comes at a difficult time, we remain confident
that the industry will pull through this crisis, as it has in
the past. Indeed, as the Director General WHO has said,
the world is better prepared for an influenza pandemic
that at any time in history. ACI, ICAO, IATA and WHO
responded to the previous SARS and Avian Flu outbreaks
by developing comprehensive contingency procedures
for airports and airlines. We are seeing those being
implemented in line with the WHO’s global response
