Dubai’s Emirates suspends flights to Guinea over Ebola

Dubai's Emirates [EMIRA.UL] said it had suspended flights to Guinea over Ebola, becoming the first major international airline to impose a ban in response to the outbreak of the deadly virus in West Africa. "The safety of our passengers and crew is of the highest priority and will not be compromised," it said.  The Ebola outbreak, which began in Guinea and has spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone, has killed more than 700, making it the deadliest since the virus was discovered almost 40 years ago.
