Protecting the World Cup: Mexican Airlines Implementing Restriction Measures for African Passengers.

In view of the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa and the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in less than two weeks, three Mexican airlines announced on the 29th that they would implement restrictions on travelers from Central Africa. According to Agence France-Presse, Mexico's largest airline, Aeromexico, announced on social media on the 29th that "passengers who have stayed in Uganda, Congo, or South Sudan in the past 21 days will be restricted from entering Mexico by air." Mexico's two low-cost airlines, Viva Aerobus and Volaris, which operate multiple international routes, also announced similar restrictions, temporary for a period of 60 days.
