Warning over reduced flights in one of Europe’s busiest airports
Widespread travel disruption expected across France
- French air traffic control unions have called for a strike on July 3 and 4, impacting flights across France.
- The French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) has requested airlines to significantly reduce flights, including 25 per cent at Paris airports and up to 50 per cent at other regional airports like Nice and Bastia.
- The strike, initiated by UNSA-ICNA, seeks improved pay and increased staffing for air traffic controllers after failed negotiations.
- Passengers are advised to expect significant disturbances and delays at all French airports and should consider changing their flights if possible.
- The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued a warning, urging travellers to monitor operator advice and local authorities' guidance.
