While the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has had minimal impact on Delta Air Lines' business, its CEO told CNBC the airline's priority is making sure its operations are safe for passengers and crew members.
Delta has screening mechanisms in place at the airport in Liberia, and its flight crews and pilots turn out of Dakar, Senegal, pick up passengers in Liberia and return to Dakar, Richard Anderson said in an interview with "Closing Bell."
"We have good procedures in place. The government of Liberia is doing a good job screening people in advance of entering the airport," he said.

Delta flights to Liberia will continue until Aug. 31. However, Anderson said the airline is taking it on a "day-by-day basis."
"We have a deep relationship with the CDC and Emory," the hospital that is treating two Americans with Ebola, he said.
"We operate under their guidance and advice and we're continuing to operate under their guidance and advice."
