United planes that Ebola patient took were in Houston
We've learned new information about the jetliners that brought the first U.S. Ebola victim to this country

We've learned new information about the jetliners that brought the first U.S. Ebola victim to this country.



The planes, flown by Chicago-based United Airlines, have been in Houston since then.



SEE THE FULL LIST OF FLIGHTS AND CITIES FOR THE TWO JETS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.



When we learned late Wednesday that the Ebola victim flew on United Airlines, we began tracking the planes that he was on to see where they were after he was on them. Even though health officials maintain there is no risk to passengers, if you were a passenger on a plane that had carried an Ebola victim, it might be something you would want to know.



"The executives at DFW have looked at the flights and examined exactly what happened at that time," said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings. "And they feel there is zero chance of anyone getting contaminated."



When Thomas Eric Duncan left Liberia, he made his way to Brussels and boarded a United Airlines plane for the US.



Here is what we know about the planes he took and the routing:



On Sept. 20, Duncan took a United Boeing 777 from Brussels to Washington Dulles and arrived at 2:36 p.m.



According to flight records, Duncan had three hours on the ground at Dulles, clearing customs and then boarding his connecting flight, a United Airbus 320 from Washington to Dallas that departed 5:29 p.m.



Since then, based on their tail numbers, those exact two aircraft have carried passengers to 27 different cities. According to flight records, the planes were in Houston on September 23 and 24.



Authorities continue to maintain there is no risk to passengers who were on the planes with the Ebola patient or to anyone in the planes since then.



United confirms that the Ebola patient being treated in North Texas was on two of their flights. The director of Centers for Disease Control says there is "zero risk of transmission on any flight which the patient flew because he was not symptomatic until several days after his trip and could not have been contagious on the dates he traveled."



Below are all of the flights for the two planes that carried Thomas Eric Duncan since September 20, 2014.
