Airport Reopened after Ebola Scare


Three people were removed from an incoming plane at Yeager Airport very early Thursday morning after a passenger feared they may have been exposed to Ebola.

The flight, Delta 993, came in from Atlanta around 11:40 p.m. Wednesday.

According to Yeager Airport, the suspected passengers were removed from the plane and questioned by state and county health officials.

Those officials determined there was no credible threat of Ebola exposure.

Other passengers were briefed and released.

Yeager Airport officials say all plans they put in place for such an incident were followed through appropriately.
