Air Travel and Spread of Disease
The opinion that air travel increased danger of the spread of foot-and-mouth disease was expressed by Mr H. E. Blyde, president, at a meeting of the North Taranaki Federated Farmers’ executive. He considered the quarantine restrictions ‘were sufficient to prevent transmission of the disease by the importation of stock, but said that with air passengers it was a different proposition. To ensure that the disease was not unwittingly carried from one country to another, the movements of air passengers would have to be checked months before an intended flight, he said.
