The meeting, which took place at the company’s headquarters near Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, aimed to finalise the airline’s current restructuring plans.
A representative of the Union des Navigants de l’Aviation Civile (UNAC) cabin crew union said that the cuts could involve the loss of 300 cockpit crew, 900 flight attendants, and 1,700 ground staff between now and 2017.
The French airline also plans to reduce its long-haul business by 10% and cancel its order for a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, Reuters reported.
However, 19 787-9 and six 787-10 jets are still on order.
