Air France celebrates International Women's Day with even more special attentions

Every year, International Women's Day is celebrated in numerous countries around the world. Air France is organizing different events to celebrate this special day.

On 7 March, the Company is forming the biggest-ever all-female crew, with one pilot, two co-pilots, one chief purser, two pursers and eighteen stewardesses welcoming passengers on board flight AF990 to Johannesburg operated by the Airbus A380.
