Air France offers to withdraw low-cost airline plan, calls for end to strike


    PARIS (Reuters) - Air France offered on Wednesday to withdraw plans to expand the low-cost operations of its Transavia brand and called on pilots to end their strike over the proposals.

    "This proposition addresses the concerns of the social partners and brings a new guarantee that there will be no delocalization (of jobs)," the airline said in a statement.

    The pilots have been on strike for 10 days and have grounded about half of the airline's scheduled flights.
