In the closed cabin environment of modern airplanes, passengers are frequently exposed to various infectious diseases.

This report which is part of the RAGIDA project (Risk Assessment Guidance for Infectious Diseases transmitted on Aircraft) provides viable options for decision-makers when faced with the choice of whether to contact trace air travellers and crew that were potentially exposed to infectious diseases during a flight.

​This guideline document presents several procedures intended to assist in the evaluation of risk for transmission of tuberculosis on board aircraft.

The aim of this document is to guide decision-making when there is a perceived need for medical evacuation by air of an infected or exposed person from an Ebola-affected country to an EU Member State.
