Based on the events of the film, the answer is no, Flynn does not know that Andy is a carrier of the Rage Virus.
Here are the specific details that support this:
1. Andy is an asymptomatic carrier
Like his mother, Alice, Andy has a genetic immunity that allows him to carry the virus without succumbing to the "rage" or the physical transformations associated with it. When his father (Don) bites him in the pitch-black tunnels of the Underground, Andy does not turn into a monster. To an outside observer like Flynn, Andy appears to be a normal, traumatized child.
2. The bite was concealed
Andy was bitten on the neck/shoulder area while in the dark. By the time they reach Flynn at Wembley Stadium, Andy is wearing a jacket/hoodie that hides the wound. Tammy (his sister) is the only person who knows he was bitten and survived without turning. She chooses to keep this a secret to ensure her brother's survival.
3. Flynn’s focus was on Scarlet
Flynn’s agreement was to extract the medical officer, Scarlet, because she believed the children were the key to a cure. When Flynn arrives at the stadium and finds Scarlet dead, he is hesitant to take the children at all. He eventually relents out of a sense of duty or pity, but he does not perform a medical inspection. He simply tells Tammy and Andy to get in the helicopter immediately to escape the approaching infected and the military's "Code Red" firebombing.
4. The Ending (The Paris Outbreak)
The final scenes of the movie show Flynn’s helicopter abandoned on the outskirts of Paris. This implies that Andy (the carrier) unknowingly brought the virus to mainland Europe. If Flynn had known Andy was infected, he never would have broken protocol to fly him across the English Channel, as Flynn was shown earlier in the film to be very pragmatic about the risks of the infection (such as when he refused to help the crowds at the park to protect himself and his craft).
In short, Flynn believes he is rescuing two uninfected survivors, and his ignorance of Andy's status is what leads to the virus spreading to France.
The summary incorrectly states Flynn came for Scarlet. He actually came for Doyle and refused to take the others until Doyle died.
Scarlet died in the subway, not at the stadium where Flynn landed.
No, Flynn does not know Andy is infected. Andy is an asymptomatic carrier (like his mother) and was bitten by his father in the dark London Underground shortly before the rescue. Only his sister Tammy knows about the bite. Flynn, a helicopter pilot, originally arrived to extract his friend Doyle and had refused to take the children. However, after Doyle sacrifices himself, Flynn reluctantly rescues Tammy and Andy at Wembley Stadium, unaware that Andy is carrying the active virus. This ignorance leads to the virus spreading to mainland Europe (Paris) after they land.
