Air France trims voluntary redundancy target
Air France has cut goals for voluntary redundancies following the recent softening of restructuring plans and now targets just over 1,600 departures by early 2017, a person close to the airline said. The new voluntary plan, communicated to unions, involves shedding 1,405 jobs among ground staff and 200 among cabin crew, compared with previous targets of 1,823 and 890 respectively. Pilots now face no voluntary redundancies, compared with a previous target of 280. "The idea is that this voluntary departure plan should be the last," the person said, adding that the it hoped to add new pilots and cabin crew depending on the outcome of union negotiations to take place over the summer. In January, Air France dropped its 'Plan B' restructuring project with forced job cuts and tilted its plans towards growth. <br/>
