US EditionFrance Asks Airlines to Reduce Flights Due to Planned Air Traffic Controller Strike
- A strike by two French air traffic controller unions begins on July 3 and 4, causing widespread flight cancellations across France.
- The strike stems from demands for higher pay, increased staffing, and protests against 'toxic' management amid unresolved talks with DGAC.
- The DGAC instructed airlines to cancel 25% of flights at Paris airports, over 50% at Nice and Corsican airports, and 30% at several southern French airports.
- ADP CEO Augustin de Romanet said cancellation levels were the highest in two decades, while passengers are protected under EU rules with rights to rebooking or refunds.
- The strike causes major disruption at French airports, risks broader European delays, and raises concerns about possible renewed action during the upcoming Paris Olympics.
