Amid Ebola fears Air France urged to stop flights
(MENAFN- Arab News) PARIS: France's government is asking Air France to suspend flights to the largest city in Sierra Leone in response to the Ebola epidemic in the region that has killed more than 1400 people.
The government said Wednesday that the epidemic's growth notably in Liberia and Sierra Leone prompted its request. It also recommended that French citizens leave the area.
Air France had no immediate comment on the request.
Most regional and major airlines have suspended services to the three most affected countries Liberia Sierra Leone and Guinea. The UN has warned that the lack of flights is making it increasingly difficult to bring in supplies. Even UN flights to bring humanitarian workers to Guinea Liberia and Sierra Leone have faced restrictions.
