Air France expects 35% srike rate among French cabin crew for Wednesday

[PARIS] Air France-KLM expects a 35 per cent strike rate among cabin crew at its French unit for Wednesday, the airline company said on Monday.

The company expects the strike rate to be around 40 per cent on long-haul activities and around 25 per cent on short-haul activities.

It said that it expected that more than 90 per cent of its long-haul flights and about 70 per cent of its short- and medium-haul flights will be maintained, albeit with a reduced number of passengers for some flights.

The strike was called by two of the airline's three unions representing flight attendants, SNPNC-FO and UNSA-PNC, for a period from July 27 to Aug 2, Air France said.
