In remission of breast cancer, Sophie Lainault worked between 1989 and 2019 at Air France as an air hostess. Her professional activity was recognized as the cause of her cancer.
For the first time in France, breast cancer from an air hostess is recognised as a disease resulting from her work. In France, this cancer is still not included in the occupational disease table.
After two and a half years of fighting, an air hostess obtained at the beginning of July from the judicial court of Bayonne the recognition of her breast cancer as an occupational disease. An unprecedented decision in France.
