Air France cancels one in ten flights on Tuesday after the second big day of mobilization against the pension reform. Long-distance connections will not be affected, the company said on Monday.

Air France will cancel this Tuesday one in ten short and medium-haul flights amid a social movement against the pension reform, and long-haul routes will not be affected, the airline announced Monday.

The other major airport in the Paris region, Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, is not affected, as the DGAC estimated that the staff available there was sufficient to guarantee the entire flight schedule.

However, both Air France and the DGAC have warned that disruptions and delays are still possible.

The administration invited “passengers who can to postpone their trip and check with their airline to find out the status of their flight.” Air France has promised that its customers “affected by canceled flights will be notified individually.”

“Commercial measures that can be consulted on airfrance.fr allow anticipation or postponement without charge and, for customers whose flight is cancelled, a credit note or a full refund in case they no longer travel,” the airline concluded. .
