I just don’t understand how our government could interfere with their decision to stop flying a certain route or to a certain city. They have made these changes in the past when a route proved unprofitable. If Ebola does become active in the U.S., people are going to quit flying unless it’s an absolute emergency because of the risk. Airlines can only take reduced loads so long before their slim profit margins are gone.

BS. United doesn't fly there.

ROB is not among the world's busier airports. A couple of flights per day. Plus charters now and again.

Brussels Airlines is pretty much it — if you're from the world or want to get there.

There are occasional flights to fellow ratholes like Accra or Casablanca.

So, it's not impossible. You can get out if you have the wherewithal.

And if Lurch gives you a visa, as he did for Eric Duncan.
