Air France to operate nearly 85% of flights May 3 as strikes continue
Air France plans to operate almost 85% of its flights May 3, the latest in a series of strikes its unions are holding over pay as employees have their say over the airline’s pay proposal in a company-wide consultation. The airline said 78% of its long-haul flights would go ahead, along with more than 80% of its medium-haul flights to and from its Charles de Gaulle hub also operating. Close to 90% of its short-haul flights would also operate, the company said. That is based on an estimate of 18.8% of pilots, 18% of cabin crew and 10% of ground staff taking part in the strike, a smaller proportion than in previous walkouts. More day-long strikes are planned for May 4, 7 and 8, bringing the total number of days of strike action to 15 in recent weeks. <br/>
