Now that Air France has announced their intention to stop transporting non-human primates for research purposes, we have to maintain pressure on Egypt air so that they will do the same. All the more so as we believe that the airline company will only increase their monkey transportations once Air France stops. We know that Egyptair has already transported long-tailed macaques from Vietnam and Mauritius, the two countries from which Air France regularly transports monkeys. Thanks to all those who have contributed to the worldwide campaign that we are leading with Action for Primates and Stop Camarles and have written to Air France. We are now asking you to join us in our appeal to Egyptair so that they will follow Air France’s example and stop their involvement in the trade of non-human primates.

Send an email (even if you already have done so) urging Egyptair to join Air France and the many other airline companies who have refused to be implicated in the worldwide transport of monkeys for animal testing:

• Captain Ahmed Adel, CEO: Ahmed.Adel@egyptair.com
• Cgo.chairman@egyptair.com
• Cgo.vchairman@egyptair.com
• Marketing.Ifs@egyptair.com
• You can also email their American office: newyork_to@egyptairnyc.com & info@egyptairnyc.com
• For other worldwide Egyptair offices: see the airline company’s website.
