PARIS: France is warning flag carrier Air France-KLM against making forced job cuts, with Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire saying such a move would constitute a “red line” the carrier shouldn’t cross after receiving a state bailout.

“We spent money to save Air France, ” he said in a radio interview. “I am asking that there not be any forced departures – that’s the red line.”
