Air France ensured all of its flights this Thursday despite the call for a strike by two unions of hostesses and stewards.

This was announced by the airline on Tuesday, when the UNAC and SNGAF unions for cabin crew filed a strike notice spanning the holiday season, from December 22 to January 2.

Air France will ensure “its entire flight program” Thursday on the first day of a call for a strike by two unions of hostesses and stewards, the airline announced on Tuesday.

The UNAC and SNGAF unions of cabin crew have filed a strike notice spanning the end-of-year holidays, from December 22 to January 2, against a backdrop of social conflict around the collective agreement for hostesses and stewards.

The flight schedule for the following days will be known 24 hours in advance, according to the company.

UNAC and SNGAF are calling for a "temporary contractual solution to replace the collective agreement" for aircrew which expired at the end of October, while negotiations on a new collective agreement continue.

Disarmed social conflicts in other companies

The SNPC-FO and the Unsa-PNC did not call for a strike within the company, where professional elections are to be held at the start of the year.

Social conflicts have also been defused at Air Antilles, Air Guyane, Corsair and Easyjet.

But another strike notice remains, from December 22 to 25 within the French Bee company, where the SNPNC and the CGT denounce "multiple dysfunctions" in their working conditions and too low wages.

Based in Orly, French Bee serves Reunion, French Polynesia and the Dominican Republic, as well as destinations in the United States.
