Air
France and pilots' union SNPL have resumed talks in the hope of resolving the
11-day strike that is costing the airline up to 15m euros (£11.8m) a day.
The
two parties are discussing a counter-offer made by the union following the
airline's proposal to scrap plans to expand its Transavia low-cost airline in
Europe.
These
plans sparked concerns among pilots over pay and job security.
The
resulting strike is affecting almost half of all Air France flights.
On
Wednesday evening, Air France offered to
scrap part of its plans to shift some
of its European operations to Transavia, having earlier offered to put the
plans on ice, and to "guarantee that there will be no relocation" of
jobs.
It
said the proposal would help "find an immediate outcome to this destructive
conflict".
However,
pilots are holding out for a better offer and say they will continue to strike
until they get it.
