CEIBA Intercontinental (C2, Malabo) will shortly resume scheduled flights to West Africa suspended in mid-August owing to the current Ebola outbreak there. Equatoguinean president Teodoro Obiang Nguema made the announcement during last week's meeting with the United Nations in which he revealed that since the suspension of flights, Equatorial Guinea had invested in medical equipment capable of detecting the virus and its symptoms.
The 2014 Ebola outbreak is the largest Ebola outbreak in history and the first in West Africa. The current outbreak is affecting multiple countries in West Africa including Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Senegal, and Nigeria with over 2'500 having now died from the deadly virus.
CEIBA's West African network consists of flights to Cotonou Cadjehoun, Dakar Yoff-Léopold Sédar Senghor International, Accra, Abidjan, and Lomé.
Other Equatoguinean operators which also serve West Africa include: Cronos Airlines (C8, Malabo) and Punto Azul (Malabo).
