A Full Airbus A318 Causes Social Distancing Controversy For Air France

 

Air France has come under fire this weekend for operating a full Airbus A318 flight from Paris to Marseilles. The airline is accused of effectively ignoring social distancing recommendations and potentially putting passengers at risk.

 

What are the details?

Air France has been operating a short route once a day (with an even shorter baby bus Airbus A318) between Paris and Marseilles. This one hour and 15-minute flight as not been full in recent weeks thanks to the crisis, with some reporting a load factor well below 50%.

 

This was until last Sunday, when it appears that every single seat was sold out!

 

As reported by Aviation24, the airline flight crew did not notice anything amiss until all the passengers arrived at Charles de Gaulle. Passengers queued up with 1.5 meters distance apart, but then upon entering, the plane became confused and panicked that they all had to sit together in the typical 3-3 configuration, with no seats put aside for social distancing.

 

“On the Paris-Marseilles I took, all the passengers were stunned to see that the flight was complete and no separation measures were taken for the passengers. What is disturbing is that during the whole registration and boarding process at Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport, the distances were respected.” Spoke France 2 (TV network) journalist Charlotte Gillard as reported by Aviation24.

 

“But as soon as we got on the plane, we were told that the flight is full! We were all taken aback, seated, huddled next to each other, most passengers without masks, and our face 30 centimeters from that of our neighbor!“
