Dutch KLM unions see no way out of marriage with Air France
Dutch union representatives said Tuesday KLM would have to stick with its partnership with Air France even though the French airline is under increasing pressure from strikes. Air France shares fell more than 10% Monday after CE Jean-Marc Janaillac said he would resign over the rejection by staff of the airline’s pay deal. “We are very concerned about the situation at Air France, which should be resolved as soon as possible”, a Dutch labour official said.
