Successful agreement: Cabin crew clearly approves new collective agreement GAV25
- The members of the cabin crew union EFA have approved the new GAV25 with a large majority
- The contract brings long-term stability and modern working conditions for the cabin crew
- Together with the pilot collective agreement, it forms the basis for the successful development of Edelweiss
Edelweiss is delighted with the clear vote of the cabin crew: With a participation rate of 83.8 percent and a vote of 91.9 percent in favor, the new collective agreement (GAV25) was adopted. The agreement will take effect on May 1, 2025, and has a minimum term of five years.
The CLA25 strengthens working conditions on board and promotes a spirit of partnership. "The clear approval of our cabin crew for the new CLA means a great deal to me and is a strong sign of mutual trust. Together, we have developed an agreement that creates modern working conditions while simultaneously securing Edelweiss's future viability," says Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss.
Edelweiss is proud to have successfully concluded the second collective agreement for a large workforce with GAV25 – following the approval of the pilots' collective agreement last year.
The new Airbus A350: A next-generation working environment
The two long-term contracts are groundbreaking for the future and lay the foundation for stability and further growth. The introduction of six modern Airbus A350s also marks the beginning of a new chapter for Edelweiss. This fleet renewal represents a strong commitment to quality, sustainability, and the commitment to offering the best to Edelweiss guests and crews alike.
Edelweiss pilots and cabin crew members can look forward to one of the most modern workplaces in aviation: cutting-edge technology, enhanced comfort, well-designed work areas and quiet zones – all of this creates a working environment that inspires and motivates.
The growth of the long-haul fleet creates an additional need for qualified cockpit and cabin crew. To meet this demand, Edelweiss is continuously recruiting new colleagues who will work together to shape the future and continue to promote the Edelweiss experience.
