NAIROBI, Shawwal 20, 1435, Aug 16, 2014, SPA -- Kenya Airways will suspend flights to Liberia's capital Monrovia and Sierra Leone's capital Freetown due to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Reuters cited the company as saying on Saturday. The suspension of the flights will start at midnight on Tuesday Aug. 19, Kenya Airways said in a statement. The carrier, which is part-owned by Air France-KLM, flies a total of seven times a week to the two cities through Accra. The company said it took the decision on the advice of Kenya's Ministry of Health. The ministry earlier said four suspected cases of Ebola in Kenya had tested negative for the virus. The first case was a Liberian national, travelling to India through Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta airport, while the second case was that of a Nigerian national who came to Kenya on Aug. 8, the ministry said in a statement. -- SPA 20:01 LOCAL TIME 17:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
