I.-Civil aviation flight crews in section A of the register provided for in article L. 421-3 may not work as pilots or co-pilots in public air transport beyond the age of sixty.
II. – Section A flight crews who meet the conditions required to continue working as flight crews may, however, be kept in service beyond the age of sixty for a further year upon request made no later than three months before their sixtieth birthday, solely in the case of crewed flights with more than one pilot, on condition that only one of the pilots is over the age of sixty. This request may be renewed under the same conditions for the following four years.
Section A cabin crew may, as of right and at any time, from the age of sixty, request to be reclassified in a ground job.
If the employee does not request to continue working as a flight attendant or reaches the age of sixty-five, the contract will not be terminated for this reason alone, unless the company is unable to offer the employee redeployment on the ground or the employee refuses to accept the job offered.
III. – Civil aviation flight crews in section D of the register provided for in article L. 421-3 may not work as cabin crew in public air transport beyond the age of fifty-five.
IV. – Flight attendants in section D of the register who meet the conditions required to continue working as flight attendants may, however, continue to work beyond the age of fifty-five if they submit a request to this effect no later than three months before their fifty-fifth birthday. This request may be renewed under the same conditions for the following nine years. At any time after the age of fifty-five, the employee may ask to be reclassified in a ground-based job. If the company is unable to offer redeployment to a ground-based job or if the person concerned refuses to accept the job offered, the employment contract will be terminated. The employment contract is not terminated simply because the person concerned reaches the age of fifty-five and waives or exhausts his or her right to benefit from the provisions of this paragraph, unless the company is unable to offer redeployment on the ground or the person concerned refuses to accept the job offered to him or her.
