France – Civil Aviation Staff to Join Nationwide Public Sector Strike

Members of the National Union of Air Traffic Controllers intend to join a planned nationwide public sector strike on Sept. 10. The action may create significant disruptions across all French airspace. Although the extent of possible flight disruptions is still unknown, during similar previous actions, the Directorate General for Civil Aviation called on airlines to cancel flights to major airports ahead of the industrial action; this may occur closer to the strike date.
