DOH warns airline over SARS, talks of compensation

ATYPICAL PNEUMONIA China Airlines bristled at suggestions it had endangered its passengers when it brought back to Taipei a sick stewardess on a flight from Tokyo

By Melody Chen  /  STAFF REPORTER

Meanwhile, EVA Air demanded all crew and passengers traveling between Taiwan and Hong Kong or Macau to wear face masks from yesterday.

Both airlines have reportedly stopped offering hot meals on flights to and from Hong Kong to help stop the spread of SARS.

Passengers had stopped eating the meals because they did not want to take off their masks during flights.

Instead, airlines are offering cold meals that passengers can take with them when they get off the plane.
