I really doubt it.
KLM associated with Air France is known to be refusing trophies on some European airlines,
definitely not so with Air France. It'd be most stupid as they have sort of a monopoly in North and West Africa. Worse how would proceed countries that have no shores, CAR, Chad, Burkina, Zimbabwe, Uganda?
I go and check that.

More informations about Air France considering refusing shipping trophies.
In fact, Air France is in very good shape but as time are difficult, they are looking at cutting costs down. It’s not at all an anti-hunting move.
One of their concerns are trophies that nobody want and remain stored in their warehouses. Shipping is not paid, and worse, Air France should bear the costs for vain storage.

The classical procedure is that trophies are brought in a country, then an importer agent collects them, clear the customs and the importer makes the hunter pay for flying costs, customs fees and his own work.
The snags happen when the hunter doesn’t use an importer agent. He is confronted with the customs services. Should the client be in financial conflict with the PH, or trophies being not conform or customs refusing access (sanitary problem or protected species or lack of CITES permit) or simply because the bill is too expensive, some hunters let all down and Air France is trapped with rejected trophies encumbering its warehouses.

Consequently, in France all the concerned professionals (PHs, African hunting Associations, Importers, Taxidermists and African officials) will found a special group in order to clear trophies’ troubles. A meeting with Air France is scheduled around next week. They’ll offer a standard secure procedure so as Air France be no longer the cemetery of trophies.
Great chances that the average Joe Hunter would no longer import trophies by himself. An import agent could be mandatory.
