For its part, Transavia claims to have received the strike notice and indicates that it regrets “this social movement which occurs at a time when air transport as a whole is barely recovering from an unprecedented crisis. We will make every effort to ensure our entire flight program throughout the period“.
The subsidiary also recallsthat an agreement has been signed with three of the four trade union organizations affiliated to the PNC, including the only representative union, the CGT”. This agreement provides for a “improvement of working conditions on tiring rotations and exceptional measures of purchasing power”, said a spokesperson. For the time being, negotiations with the employees have not yet started. They should wait until early 2023, Transavia saying it is constrained by state-guaranteed loans (PGE).
