Although an official travel ban has not been announced yet, the European Union has made it clear that travel to the risk areas for swine flu is not advisable at this time. The EU Ministers of Health are meeting later this week to discuss the outbreak and possible measures to prevent further spreading of the disease.
“Personally I wouldn’t travel to one of the risk areas unless it was absolutely vital to do so,” EU Commissioner for Health Androulla Vassiliou noted.
Meanwhile in Germany, TUI has cancelled all charter flights to Mexico City until at least the 4th of May. The measure is in effect for all trips by and for TUI, 1-2 Fly, Airtours, Berge & Meer, Grebeco and L’tur.
Other package trips to Mexico will proceed as scheduled, but there will be no stops or transfers in Mexico City.
