This paper discusses the medicine delivery strategy over the US Airlines network to help eliminate virus spreading. The paper analyzes the characteristics of the general susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemics model and the targeted immunization strategy against virus spreading. The proposed strategy combines the characteristics of epidemics model and immunization strategy applied on US Airlines network. The fundamental analysis of US Airlines network is conducted, and the corresponding simulations of the proposed strategy demonstrate that the new strategy can effectively accomplish the medicine delivery over the airlines network within a short period.
