Air France headscarf row: Airline lets crew skip new Tehran route
4 April 2016 Europe
Air France is willing to let female crew members opt out of flying a new route to Tehran after they were asked to wear a headscarf on their arrival.
The airline will restart its flights to the Iranian capital on 17 April.
Management last week circulated a note asking female staff to wear trousers on the route and put on a headscarf when they left the plane.
Union officials said some staff members were concerned about the ruling and had asked Air France bosses to relax it.
Ahead of a meeting with a number of unions on Monday afternoon, Gilles Gateau, Air France's human resources director, told the Europe 1 channel he was willing to offer a compromise.
