“Delays and flight cancellations were set to impact swathes of Europe on Thursday, after authorities failed to reach a deal with some French air traffic control workers to avert a strike. France’s DGAC civil aviation authority said on Wednesday it had asked airlines to cancel 75% of Thursday’s flights at Paris Orly airport, 55% of flights at Paris Charles-De-Gaulle and 65% of flights at Marseille. Air traffic control strikes in France frequently impact travel in Europe, limiting not only flights into France but also across the country’s airspace. Ryanair had warned it would have to cancel over 300 flights, including from Great Britain to Spain or to Italy, as a result of Thursday’s strikes, renewing pressure on European Union officials to place more pressure on France to limit the impact of the labour actions.” (04/25/24)
