HealthCourt rules flight attendant’s breast cancer was an occupational disease

A French court has recognised former Air France flight attendant Sophie Lainault’s breast cancer as occupationally caused. It cited her extensive night work, exposure to ionising radiation and passive smoking after more than 12,600 flight hours. Her lawyer and the CFDT union called it a first for France’s aviation industry and said it could help similar claims.
