Air France plans to shed 7,580 jobs, or 17.5% of its current workforce, over the next few years, the company said on Friday.
The global airline industry will lose a record $84 billion this year, according to the International Air Transport Association, which does not expect a return to profitability in 2021 even if there is a sharp rebound in global economic activity.
At the height of the Covid-19 crisis, the company lost €15 million ($16.9 million) per day, Air France said Friday in a statement.
