Air France Commits to New Measures Against Sexual Harassment

The airline's CEO announced enhanced protocols following reports of a culture tolerating sexist and sexual misconduct.

Air France CEO Anne Rigail has announced a series of actions to combat sexual harassment and violence within the company, calling such behavior 'unacceptable.'
The measures include the creation of an independent 24/7 support hotline for employees and a dedicated anti-discrimination and harassment service reporting directly to HR leadership.
The announcement follows a Radio France investigation highlighting a culture of normalized sexual misconduct and testimonies from employees alleging harassment and assault.
The company plans to accelerate employee training on harassment prevention and consult with unions to ensure swift implementation of the new policies.
The French Minister of Transport, Philippe Tabarot, has pledged to closely monitor the airline's progress on these initiatives, which also include external audits and collaboration with other airlines to address industry-wide issues.
