aircraft
Regulation (EU) 2024/404
(a) The flight crew of an en-route aircraft shall,
upon identifying a suspected case(s) of a communicable disease, or other
public health risk, on board the aircraft, promptly notify the air traffic
services unit with which the pilot is communicating, the information listed
below:
(1) aircraft identification;
(2) departure aerodrome;
(3) destination aerodrome;
(4) estimated time of arrival;
(5) number of persons on board;
(6) number of suspected cases on board; and
(7) nature of the public health risk, if known.
(b) The air
traffic services unit, upon receipt of information from a pilot regarding a
suspected case(s) of a communicable disease, or other public health risk, on
board the aircraft, shall forward a message as soon as possible to the air
traffic services unit serving the destination/departure, unless procedures
exist to notify the appropriate authority designated by the State and the
aircraft operator or its designated representative.
(c) When a
report of a suspected case(s) of a communicable disease, or other public
health risk, on board an aircraft is received by an air traffic services unit
serving the destination/departure, from another air traffic services unit or
from an aircraft or an aircraft operator, the unit concerned shall forward a
message as soon as possible to the public health authority or the appropriate
authority designated by the State as well as the aircraft operator or its
designated representative, and the aerodrome operator.
EASA aviation rules require flight crews to report suspected communicable diseases or public health risks onboard to air traffic control. This notification includes aircraft details, passenger numbers, and the nature of the risk. Air traffic services then alert relevant authorities, the aircraft operator, and the destination aerodrome.
