Today, Emirates announced it will reduce flights over the next two months to five of the 12 U.S. cities it serves, including those to Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Orlando and Seattle. The airline attributes the cuts to “weakened demand to the U.S.”
According to the NBC News:
Dubai-based Emirates airline announced Wednesday it will reduce its service to the United States in response to a drop in demand. The airline attributes this to actions taken by the U.S. government, such as restrictions on electronic devices in cabins and a travel ban for some majority-Muslim countries. The airline said it will be reducing flights to five of the 12 U.S. cities it currently serves.
“This is a commercial decision in response to weakened travel demand to the U.S.,” Emirates said in a statement provided to NBC News. “The recent actions taken by the U.S. government relating to the issuance of entry visas, heightened security vetting, and restrictions on electronic devices in aircraft cabins, have had a direct impact on consumer interest and demand for air travel into the U.S.”
Emirates added that until the start of 2017, its operations in the United States had been experiencing healthy growth and performance.
“However, over the past 3 months, we have seen a significant deterioration in the booking profiles on all our U.S. routes, across all travel segments. Emirates has therefore responded as any profit-oriented enterprise would, and we will redeploy capacity to serve demand on other routes on our global network.”
Emirates said it will continue to monitor the situation “with the view to reinstate and grow our US flight operations as soon as viable.”
Starting May 1 and 23, respectively, flights to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando will drop from daily service to five time a week. On June 1 and 2, respectively, service to Seattle and Boston will drop from twice-daily services to a daily service. And, starting July 1, flights to Los Angeles will also drop from twice-daily service to a daily service.

Today, a fire alongside the railroad tracks near South Hampstead (north London) has damaged signaling equipment and thus the power supplier to Euston Station was cut. Euston Station was then evacuated, and train services were suspended.
According to the BBC:
London Euston station has been evacuated and train services suspended due to a trackside fire. Network Rail said the fire, near South Hampstead, north London, damaged signalling equipment.
The power supply to Euston station was temporarily cut as a result of the incident, leading to the evacuation. Engineers hope to restore services as soon as possible but it is warned full timetables are unlikely to resume until Thursday morning.
The fire affected customers on London Midland, Virgin and Southern trains. It also took out a stretch of the London Overground line between Euston and Harrow & Wealdstone.
Network Rail said: “An electrical fire at South Hampstead has stopped trains running in or out of London Euston this evening. Train customers are impacted in London and the length of the West Coast main line, including Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. Network Rail engineers are trying to get some trains moving this evening on the West Coast main line by using emergency generators to restore temporary power to signals – the traffic lights of the railway. Engineers are preparing to work through the night to install 100 metres of 11,000-volt power cables, with the aim of getting services back to normal tomorrow morning.”
Customers on Virgin trains were advised not to travel south of Birmingham. It said tickets would be accepted for travelling on Thursday or passengers could get a full refund.
Passengers are advised to use services provided by Chiltern Railways, East Midlands Trains and Great Western Railway or check with National Rail Enquiries before travelling.

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) confirmed another data breach late last week in an official statement. A list of affected IHG franchise locations and respective time frames, which may vary by location, is available here.
This latest breach occurred at more than 1,100 locations between September 29 and December 29, 2016. The hotel brands impacted include: Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, and Staybridge Suites.
In February, IHG announced a breach impacting credit cards used at the hotel bars and restaurants from August through December 2016.
According to Skift:
Last week, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) announced it had suffered a data breach at multiple IHG-branded franchise hotel locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico during the period of September 29, 2016 to December 29, 2016.
IHG did not disclose the exact number of properties impacted. To learn which properties were impacted, guests need to search for hotels that may have been impacted on IHG’s website.
It’s the second such data breach the company has revealed this year. The earlier breach, announced in February, impacted 12 hotels in the U.S. The company operates and manages hotel brands that include Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood Suites, Hotel Indigo, and InterContinental Hotels.
Business Travel News reports:
The credit card breach that affected payment cards used at InterContinental Hotels Group properties last year hit a much broader swath of the company’s franchise portfolio than the 12 revealed back in February.
IHG issued a statement disclosing that cards used at IHG franchise locations in North America and Puerto Rico between Sept. 29, 2016, and Dec. 29, 2016, may have been affected by malware installed on front-desk payment systems at certain locations. IHG didn’t disclose which properties the breach targeted, but an online database of hotels that might have been affected includes more than 1,100 locations under the Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza and Hotel Indigo brands.
The adoption of IHG’s Secure Payment Solution, a point-to-point-encryption payment-acceptance solution, halted the malware’s effectiveness at locations where it was installed last year, according to IHG. The company said investigations revealed no indication that guest information beyond cardholder name, card number, expiration date and internal verification code were affected.

Talking Points – Measles Outside the U.S.
Copyright © 2017 – Travel Leaders Group LLC. All rights reserved.
The following Talking Points can be used in conversations with the media and clients when discussing the measles outbreaks, including in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Indonesia, Romania and Guinea. (Updated April 19, 2017)
1. Measles is still very common in many parts of the world, including areas in Europe, Asia, the Pacific and Africa.
2. Travelers can easily protect themselves by making certain their vaccinations are up-to-date.
3. We are here to assist our clients; the safety and well-being of our clients is our top priority.
Below you will find additional information, supporting material, and statistics supporting each talking point.
1. Measles is still very common in many parts of the world, including areas in Europe, Asia, the Pacific and Africa.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued Watch Level 1 advisories for measles in Belgium, Germany and Italy. Prior to these nation’s being added, only Indonesia, Romania and Guinea had existing Watch Level 1 advisories for measles.
o A Watch Level 1 travel health notice from the CDC is the lowest of three advisories it issues, meaning it recommends travelers “practice usual precautions” – in this case, it means being vaccinated for measles prior to traveling.
Belgium, Germany and Italy have all reported a concerning number of measles cases in their countries.
o “In Belgium, through Mar. 31, Wallonia reported 266 measles cases. The outbreak affects all provinces of Wallonia, with the exception of the province of Luxembourg. All age groups are affected and 53% of cases are over 15 years. Most of the cases were not vaccinated or did not know their vaccination status. Nearly 40% were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported,” according to Outbreak News Today.
o Also according to Outbreak News Today, “Since the beginning of 2017 and as of 4 April 2017, Italy reported 1,333 cases of measles, with 131 cases among healthcare workers. The cases are reported from 19 of the 21 regions in Italy. A majority of the cases (93%) are from Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy, Tuscany, Abruzzi and Sicily. Most of the cases are above 15 years and 88% of the cases were not vaccinated.”
o “According to the German National Public Health Institute, since the beginning of 2017 and as of 12 March 2017, Germany reported 272 cases. In the same period in 2016, Germany reported 18 cases,” reports Outbreak News Today.
o According to Healio, the measles outbreak in Europe is due to non-vaccinated individuals.
“Health officials warned that a recent surge in measles cases in Europe is being driven by below-target vaccination rates and is threatening the continent’s progress toward eradication.”
“In Italy, which reported 238 new cases in January, immunization coverage is just 83%, and WHO said it appeared the outbreak was going to be at least as bad and perhaps even worse in February. (By comparison, Italy reported around 850 measles cases in all of 2016.)”
o The Guardian reports that the Five Star Movement (M5S) in Italy may be contributing to the measles outbreak.
“In 2015, the M5S proposed a law against vaccinations because of “the link between vaccinations and specific illnesses such as leukaemia, poisoning, inflammation, immunodepression, inheritable genetic mutations, cancer, autism and allergies”.”
“The surge in the number of cases follows a drop in the proportion of two-year-olds given vaccinations from 88% in 2013 to 86% in 2014 and 85.3% in 2015 – well below the 95% threshold advised by the World Health Organisation.”
Several countries, including Australia, Canada and Taiwan, have reported that travelers who recently visited Indonesia have been diagnosed with measles, necessitating the CDC’s Watch Level 1 advisory.
o Some of these travelers were visiting the popular tourist destination of Bali.
The CDC also reported a measles outbreak in 13 of Guinea’s 33 prefectures. The CDC issued the Watch Level 1 advisory for Guinea on March 10, 2017.
o Outbreak News Today reports that “The number of suspected cases has increased rapidly, reaching 407 this week [March 4, 2017], compared to 234 last week. More than 3.7 million children need to be urgently vaccinated in the country.”
On November 10, 2016, the CDC announced that a measles outbreak had been confirmed in Romania.
o Outbreak News Today reports that “From September 2016 to March 17, 2017, Romania has reported 3,799 cases.”
Measles continues to be an ongoing public health issue worldwide, as well. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that, as of April 11, 2017, there have been:
o 1,259 laboratory confirmed cases of measles in the African region
o 55 laboratory confirmed cases in the Americas region
o 1,079 laboratory confirmed cases in the Eastern Mediterranean region
o 980 laboratory confirmed cases in the European region
o 926 laboratory confirmed cases in the Western Pacific region
o 766 laboratory confirmed cases in the South-East Pacific region
The majority of measles cases that are brought into the United States come from unvaccinated U.S. residents or visitors.
Clinicians should keep measles in mind when treating patients with fever and rash, especially if the patient has recently traveled internationally.
2. Travelers can easily protect themselves by making certain their vaccinations are up-to-date.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): “Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by a virus. It spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing. Measles starts with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat, and is followed by a rash that spreads all over the body.”
According to the CDC, “Travelers who have not been vaccinated are at risk of getting the disease and spreading it to their friends and family members who may not be up-to-date with vaccinations. Because of this risk, all travelers should be up-to-date on their vaccinations, regardless of where they are going.”
In the U.S., the vaccines that are available are the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and the measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccines.
o The CDC states: “MMR has been used safely and effectively since the 1970s. A few people experience mild, temporary adverse reactions, such as joint pain, from the vaccine, but serious side effects are extremely rare. There is no link between MMR and autism.”
Both children and adults who are traveling should be vaccinated. The CDC offers the following guidelines:
o Routine vaccination for children in the U.S. is between 12-15 months, but younger children traveling outside of the U.S. can receive the vaccine starting at six months old.
o Children 12 months or older, adolescents, and adults who are traveling outside the United States must have received two doses of MMR or other live measles-containing vaccine to be considered immune to measles.
o Also, those who have had the diagnosis of measles documented by a physician, have laboratory evidence of immunity, or were born before 1957 are considered immune.
3. We are here to assist our clients; the safety and well-being of our clients is our top priority.
We would not send our clients to a particular destination if we believed it to be unsafe or were unable to provide precautions to minimize risks. Should we become aware of an issue for a specific destination, we alert clients who may be planning to travel there and provide detailed information on the situation so they can make informed decisions for themselves if they still wish to travel.
The CDC has issued Watch Level 1 health notices urging travelers to practice usual precautions when visiting Belgium, Germany, Italy, Indonesia, Romania and Guinea. Additional measles cases have been reported worldwide.
Our business is founded on repeat customers. Therefore, we want to be sure everything goes off without a hitch.
By working with a true travel professional, we assist our clients by consulting on the ideal vacation experience they are looking for and providing alternative destinations should the need arise.
