Abstract:

This report summarizes a workshop that took place in Washington, D.C., on September 5-7, 2007, which explored the current state of the practice for pandemic planning by airports and airlines, coordination among various agencies and the aviation sector to implement these plans, and the potential areas for public-private sector cooperation in pandemic planning. The U.S. government has issued a national strategic plan and a related implementation plan that includes three overarching goals: (a) stopping, slowing, or otherwise limiting the spread of a pandemic event to the United States; (b) limiting the spread of a pandemic event domestically; and (c) sustaining infrastructure and mitigating impacts to the economy. The aviation industry has a role to play in all three goals; however, sometimes these goals are in conflict, and what is needed to limit the spread of disease may affect the economic well-being of the aviation industry. This workshop was structured to address these conflicting issues and concerns in the context of those parts of the plan that deal directly or indirectly with the aviation sector.
