The French air traffic controllers' strike beginning on July 3rd will lead to widespread flight cancellations, especially at Paris and southern France airports. Major airports such as Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and Nice will face significant disruptions, with halved flights at Nice and one third cancellations at others. The strike may impact over flights, causing some to be rerouted. While cancellations primarily affect short-haul flights, long-haul may also see repercussions. The strike extends to July 4th, though disruption is expected to be lower with only one union participating.
The first day of a strike by French air traffic controllers will see widespread flight cancellations, with airports in Paris and the south of France especially badly affected.
Half of incoming and outgoing flights at Nice airport and Bastia and Calvi airports will be cancelled, with one third cancelled at several other major airports.
The strike action could also affect 'over flights', as flights passing over French airspace may be re-routed to avoid delays.
The strike continues into Friday, July 4th, although only one union is supporting the second day, meaning there is likely to be less disruption.
