We can now confirm that rescued Americans will be coming to Nebraska for quarantine at Camp Ashland, a Nebraska National Guard facility near Ashland, Nebraska, outside Omaha.

These passengers will arrive at Eppley Airfield in a remote and isolated aircraft parking area and will NOT be inside the Eppley Airfield terminal. The arrival of the flight will have no impact on Omaha passengers, and flight operations at Eppley Airfield will remain normal and unaffected.
