Introduction: International air travel is now a significant factor in transmitting public health threats, such as the Ebola virus. Thus, airports have become the first line of public health defense for many countries, and authorities have organized public health response plans to identify infectious cases and process them appropriately. Methods: To maximize the speed and efficiency of infectious disease detection and response, the health surveillance center at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has formulated response measures that operate at three levels. The responders involved carry out regular drills to practice the screening, isolation, transfer and disinfection processes involved. Results: This paper describes a practice drill with the scenario of an Ebola case arriving at the airport. The study provides an analysis of the drill outcomes and recommendations for good practice. The drill highlighted the importance of participants’ roles and it achieved its objective of increasing airport stakeholders’ awareness of current public health threats. The need for better coordination and communication was among the shortcomings the drill helped to identify. Conclusion: The drill review presented here highlights the need to maintain health professionals’ knowledge of, and confidence in responding to, international transmission of infectious disease.
