Businesses brace for bird flu

Due to the recent scare of bird flu travelers of all sorts are starting to rethink some of their flight plans. Bob Goldberg, an international lawyer, had his meeting relocated from Vietnam to Singapore. Vietnam had and outbreak of the bird flu. Even though the Center for Disease Control has not stated the disease to be an outbreak airlines are starting to feel the results. When SARS broke out in 2003, it cost the airlines $8 billion in just nine months. Obviously, SARS and the Bird Flu are not everywhere but how will the airlines handle this situation. Will they end as last year lose another $8 billion or will they lure customers in with low air fair.
