As of this month Air France is resuming 3x weekly flights between Paris and Tehran. This comes after sanctions were lifted between Iran and the US/Europe,given that international inspectors have confirmed that Iran has allegedly dismantled their nuclear program.
This original route is main to some interesting controversy among Air France flight attendants, some of whom are unwilling to work the route. What's the cause of the controversy?Female Air France flight attendants will be required to wear headscarves as soon as they land in Tehran, and which the union argues violates their personal liberties. Therefore they're requesting that the flights be voluntary to work,meaning that flight attendants can't receive any penalties whether they don't want to work this route.
To be clear, Air France is simply requiring flight attendants to follow the Iranian laws which have been in place for decades, and requiring all women to cover up. The Telegraph does a apt job outlining the two sides to this story.
