The main pilots' union at Air France said on Thursday its strike was continuing despite confirmation from management that it had withdrawn its controversial plans to expand the airline's low-cost operations in Europe. As the stoppage costing 20 million euros ($25.4 million) daily entered its 11th day, the SNPL union said in a statement that it had made further demands regarding workers' terms of employment under the no-frills Transavia brand within France, but that management had refused these.
Talks broke down in the middle of the night and are due to resume at 1500 local time (1300 GMT), SNPL added. A statement from the company on Thursday said "talks are continuing with the aim of reaching a rapid conclusion".
