Air France Employees Expose Culture of Sexual Harassment and Assault

A Radio France investigation reveals systemic issues, with victims alleging inaction and complicity from company leadership.

Multiple Air France employees, including flight attendants and pilots, have reported experiencing sexual harassment and assault during their work, as detailed in a Radio France investigation.
Victims describe a culture of silence and fear, with some alleging that company leadership discouraged legal action and failed to act on complaints.
A 2024 internal audit highlighted a 'culture of permissiveness,' with nearly half of surveyed employees reporting discomfort with the 'all-powerful' status of pilots.
Two employee unions have criticized Air France's handling of these issues, calling out the lack of meaningful action despite repeated warnings and evidence.
Air France denies protecting perpetrators and claims to enforce a zero-tolerance policy, citing recent training programs and internal campaigns, though victims argue these measures fall short.
