 On March 19, 2020 the Department of State issued a Level 4”Do Not Travel” Global Health Alert to U.S. citizens.  

Given the closure of airports and reduction of flight options worldwide, U.S. citizens should be prepared to remain outside the United States for an extended period.   We do not expect that we will be able to arrange any additional flights.  Please go to our ALERTS page to read about a recently announced commercial charter flight from Conakry to Newark, NJ.
