Strongly shaken by the crisis of the Covid-19, as the sector as a whole, the Air France group has launched a "reconstruction plan" that provides for a reduction of its French network (deficiency) of 40% by the end of 2021, with notably the closure of the lines with an alternative by train in less than 2 hours and 30 minutes, as well as the transfer of some domestic routes to its subsidiary low-cost Transavia, until now confined to the medium-haul.

"windfall"

"It is to safeguard the employment of thousands of salaried employees (...) It is in this spirit that we will engage in negotiations with the firm intention of avoiding any compulsory redundancies," responded Farid Slimani, of the Unsa Air. "These are employees who will pay tribute to the more heavy," for its part, regretted Christophe Malloggi, secretary general of FO Air France, the first union of the company.

Air France-KLM has received in the spring a financial support of 7 billion euros, to tackle the turbulence related to the Covid-19. "Certain conditions of the aid we appear to be insufficient, such as the protection of jobs and the other too restrictive, such as the prohibition to perform flights if the high-speed train connects two cities in less than 2 hours 30", believes Christophe Malloggi.
