The number was already circulating, but now Air France has confirmed it: more
than 7,500 of the 43,000 jobs are disappearing. It does not expect to recover
from the crisis until 2024 and therefore no longer needs those people.
 
At mainline Air France, 6,500 jobs out of 41,000 jobs are lost. The hardest
blows are relatively seen with daughter brand HOP!, where more than 1000 of
the 2400 jobs disappear. This is due to the mandatory cutting in domestic
flights.
 
Air France thinks that about half of the more than 7,500 jobs will disappear
by themselves due to natural attrition (retirement, other work, etc.), but a
solution must be found for the other half. The airline is discussing this with
the influential unions.
 
According to Air France, the aim is to have as many employees as possible
leave voluntarily, including through an early retirement scheme.
