The French airline Air France has to radically restructure its domestic route network due to the acceptance of state support amounting to seven billion euros. The reasons for this are, on the one hand, environmental requirements imposed on the carrier, but on the other hand also efforts to reduce costs. It is therefore not surprising that the lion's share of routes within France (excluding overseas territories) is to be handed over to the subsidiary Transavia France. An agreement to this effect has already been concluded with the responsible pilots' union SNPL. The result of this is that the low-cost subsidiary will take over large parts of the domestic routes from Paris-Orly by 2023. However, Air France will in future serve some selected routes that are considered particularly profitable with Airbus A220-300s, the company said in a press release. These are to be used to Toulouse, Nice and Marseille, for example, from September 2021. Transavia France wanted to grow much earlier, but an agreement with the pilots' union prevented this plan. Until the clause was lifted, Transavia France's maximum fleet size was set in stone at 40 Boeing 737s. It was also agreed that this subsidiary would only fly within Europe. In a more recent agreement, however, these restrictions were lifted, meaning that Air France can increasingly shift its operations to the low-cost subsidiary. However, many domestic routes are considered to be loss-making, which is why attempts are being made to bring Transavia France back into profitability by using its lower costs. The main competitor is now the TGV service of the French state railway. The government also wants to focus more on these high-speed trains in the future. The consequence
