French staff in the Franco-Dutch company complain their colleagues from the Netherlands are money-grubbing, while the Dutch regard the Air France staff as aloof, according to the report. Air France staff accuse KLM managers of thinking that they are more professional and “super cool”, the report leaked to a Dutch broadcaster says. KLM managers, on the other hand, think that their French colleagues only worry about keeping jobs at Air France. Air France-KLM said: “The conclusion of this study identifies cultural differences and different visions leading sometimes to difficulties but also a common interest and the desire to find solutions in the interest of Air France-KLM group and each airline. During the coming period, we will see within Air France, KLM and Air France-KLM how we can learn together and bring about improvements wherever necessary.”
