KLM has cancelled flights to and ​from Entebbe airport ⁠near the Ugandan capital Kampala due to restrictions linked to an ‌Ebola outbreak in Central Africa, the Dutch airline said late on Friday.

KLM said that ​while the area was not currently seen as an active risk zone, it could ​no longer ​operate planned routes due to travel and entry measures some countries have introduced for people who recently travelled through Entebbe, including its crew.
