Air France Crews Refuse to Board Flights to Nigeria, Others Over Ebola ScareSome Air France flight crews are refusing to board planes bound for Nigeria, Guinea and Sierra Leone and over fears of the Ebola outbreak, the airline said Tuesday. Air France serves more West Africa destinations than any other major carrier. Air France operates daily flights to Guinea and Nigeria and a service three times a week to Sierra Leone. On Monday, one Air France union, SNGAF, launched a petition calling for the “immediate end to flights to countries hit by the Ebola virus”. In 2009, as the world fought an outbreak of swine flu, some Air France crew refused to fly to Mexico.
