2007 Warden Information
Consular Warden Message - Air France Flight Update #1
U.S. Embassy Conakry
February 14, 2007
This warden message is being issued to update American citizens regarding information on Air France flights out of Guinea. A flight left Guinea for Paris yesterday. We believe Air France will try to operate flights to Paris starting Thursday, February 15 to Sunday February 19. If you would like to contact Air France, we can provide these additional numbers to reach the airline: 60-29-77-72, 60-29-64-12 and 60-89-61-79. You can also call 30-41-36-57/60/61.
We strongly advise that you do not go to the airport without having some confirmation of a ticket. Given the current curfew, you should not try to travel to the airport later than 6pm. The current curfew under the declared “state of emergency” allows travel only between noon and 6pm.
The recent sustained unrest in Conakry and throughout Guinea has created extremely hazardous conditions. The situation could continue to deteriorate. The Department of State has ordered the departure of all eligible family members of our employees, and we urge that American citizens also consider leaving Guinea.
The Embassy remains open, with reduced staffing.
For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings, and other Public Announcements can be found. Up to date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States and Canada, or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
Americans in Guinea are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within Guinea. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the U.S. Embassy in Conakry. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency.
