As the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3) approaches, Air France is reinforcing its ongoing commitment to the Sheltered and Adapted Employment Sector. In 2023, the airline’s investment in this crucial sector amounted to €22.7 million, positioning Air France as one of the leading supporters of disability inclusion through employment in France.
For years, Air France has been working closely with a wide range of organizations in the Sheltered and Adapted Employment Sector. The airline has established over 70 partnerships with institutions such as ANRH in Paris, APF Amiens in the Somme, and ESAT La Roumanière in Vaucluse, among others. These collaborations have supported nearly 800 indirect jobs, further contributing to the broader impact of the Air France-KLM Group, which has created 550,000 direct and indirect jobs across France.
These adapted employment organizations provide a range of essential services to Air France, helping the airline deliver high-quality experiences to its customers while fostering employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Services include:
Through these partnerships, Air France not only champions the integration of people with disabilities into the workforce but also ensures smooth operations across a range of services. As of December 2024, the airline continues to lead the way in advancing disability inclusion in the aviation industry, fostering both social responsibility and operational excellence.
Air France’s collaboration with companies in the adapted employment sector underscores its ongoing commitment to employing individuals with disabilities. This dedication is further reflected in the signing of the twelfth disability agreement for the 2024-2026 period. In 2023, over 6% of Air France’s workforce consisted of employees with recognized disabled worker status.
