Be careful if you have to travel with the airline Air France this Tuesday, June 6, another day of mobilization against the pension reform.
This Thursday, the DGAC, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation, asked the airlines to cancel a third of their flights from Paris-Orly due to the strike of some of the air traffic controllers.
The airports of Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Nantes will also be affected with the preventive cancellation of 20% of flights.
For Air France, the forecasts are as follows:
- Nearly 7 out of 10 flights from Paris-Orly and certain regional airports
- 100% of long-haul flights
- 100% of flights to and from Paris-Roissy
“The flight schedule is up to date. Customers affected by canceled flights have been notified individually, by SMS, email or through the Air France application”, indicates the company, which, however, specifies “that delays and cancellations last minute are not to be excluded”.
A law to limit the disturbances by these strikes
The proliferation of air traffic controller strikes is less and less accepted by the airlines. We know the Rynair Air lobby in the European Commission to denounce the disturbances caused.
But the French pavilion also seeks to limit these chronic movements.
“The first three months of the year were marked by the so-called ‘solidarity’ social movements, which also lasted in the French air navigation control centers, which turned out to be especially penalizing with almost 40 days of strike and more than 400,000 passengers. lost in Paris airports”, explains Pascal de Izaguirre, president of the FNAM, the National Aviation Federation and its trades
“I remember in this regard our very clear wish that a law be adopted quickly, which does not call into question the principle of the right to strike, but allows better predictability of the latter’s impact on passengers and airlines. A project has been presented of law to that effect in the Senate.
