Airports and Communicable Diseases: Preparedness and Response

In recent years, as air travel has increased worldwide, attention to the global spread of communicable diseases via air travel has also grown. While considerable research has been undertaken on the topic, the information is disparate and not often presented in a manner that allows airports to easily develop a comprehensive response.

ACRP WebResource 22: Airports and Communicable Diseases: Preparedness and Response, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, synthesizes existing materials across the aviation ecosystem concerning planning and responding to communicable diseases and provides a set of guides and recommendations to help airport leaders accelerate their own pandemic plans.
