Due to a “favorable age pyramid,” per the airline, the airline anticipates over 3,500 natural departures.

In essence, the carrier believes its older workforce will allow the airline to reduce its workforce naturally.

Air France is working with its unions to implement plans for voluntary departures, early retirement arrangements, and “professional and geographical mobility.”

There will also be proposals for internal job offers for employees whose position will no longer exist and who do not wish to be included in the departure plan.
