Air France , who disagree with the proposed development of the low-cost subsidiary Transavia, largely voted to continue the strike until 26 September inclusive, said Saturday SNPL Air France Alpa majority.

The airline has for its part indicated in a statement that it would provide 38% of its flights Sunday, which was the lowest since the beginning of the movement, given a “strike rate of 65% for this day.”

Saturday, Air France planned to operate 45 % of flights while the movement is sinking and that the unions are not exclusive to extend beyond September 26, negotiations with management in neutral.

SNPL Air France Alpa , which triggered a social movement Monday for an initial period of one week, filed on Friday evening a new strike notice until Friday 26, pending the outcome of the consultation of its base.

“The referendum ended with a turnout of 73.71% with 80.93% response in favor of the continuation of the movement”, told Reuters the president of Air France SNPL Alpa, Jean-Louis Barber.

“As a result, the Air France SNPL Alpa decided to further movement, initially until 26 September. This could continue then saw the strong mandate given by the basis, “he added.

Friday night, the airline had regretted this new notice.

From the beginning of the week, Air France had to cancel very many flights because of a massive mobilization pilotes- around 60% of strikers on average according to the company. This was again the case Saturday.

The unions are demanding such a single employment contract for all aircraft over a hundred places pilots in the Air France and Transavia, a request which the CEO of Air France KLM, Alexander Juniac remains against .

“The proposed relocation of the steering is now proven through Transavia Europe. The SNPL, which calls for the development of Transavia France (…) feels betrayed today by the management, “said Jean-Louis Barber.

His union, which launched its project AC on its website, has decided to appeal to Manuel Valls. Prime Minister had claimed on Wednesday to stop the strike.

“Given the deadlock in which we entails management, we appeal to the Prime Minister for a quick meeting, and we are confident that the plan for a relocation of our jobs, it will have an ear, “said Jean-Louis Barber.
