Air France Jobs

Air France management said Friday it planned to eliminate 7,580 jobs at the airline and its regional unit Hop! by the end of 2022 because of the coronavirus crisis.

Air France is to cut 1,500 jobs, mostly ground staff, by late 2022, union sources told AFP Thursday, although the company insisted talks with labour representatives have not yet concluded.

French President Francois Hollande said today the social turbulence currently gripping Air France, which was rocked by violent protests over job cuts, was not a reflection of the state of the country.

At least half of Air France flights around the world were canceled on Monday as pilots kicked off a weeklong strike, angry that the airline is shifting jobs and operations to a low-cost carrier to better keep up with competition.

Hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs were riding on it. The world's media and his firm's top bosses were scrutinising his every move. But it was all in a day's work for Peter Chandler, the former RAF pilot in charge of Airbus's newest plane on its first test flight.

After two days of air traffic controller strikes, French rail workers are now walking off the job to protest a reorganisation of the national rail and train companies.
