Description
Air France presented a collective redundancy plan to cut 404 ground staff positions on a voluntary basis.The Orly Airport is particularly affected with 80 job losses, against a backdrop of falling passenger traffic from 12.4 million in 2019 to 7.1 million in 2024. Short-haul flights account for 226 of the job cuts, reflecting the decline in French domestic traffic, which fell from 31 million to 19.5 million passengers between 2019 and 2024.
This decline can be related to competition from the high-speed train, the widespread use of remote work/teleworking and carbon reduction policies. The plan must be approved by the Île-de-France Drieets by the end of October.
Air France is continuing its strategy of refocusing on Charles de Gaulle airport (Paris-CDG) and profitable long-haul flights.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
