Air Traffic Controllers and General Strikes - April 27 - 28, 2016

France

If
work stoppages occur, delays and/or cancellations are possible

 
 Current Impacts

A
number of unions in France have called for a general strike in response to
labor reforms proposed by the government. The unions include the CGT, FO, FSU,
Solidaires, UNEF, UNL, and the LDIFs. 

The
strike will be accompanied by demonstrations in a number of cities.

Travelers are advised to check the status of their flights prior to departure and allow
extra time for check in.

 Incident Description

French
air traffic controllers under the USAC-CGT union will also strike on April 28;
delays are expected at numerous airports in the country.

There
is a likelihood of travel disruptions, resulting from the air traffic
controller strike, throughout France, but also in the inner city areas affected
by protest action. 

Clients
in France on April 27 and 28 are advised to keep their travel itineraries
flexible in anticipation of the strike action and resultant travel disruptions.

Some
residual flight disruptions could occur through May 1 as the airline attempts
to re-position planes.

 

Airline Policies

 
 
Check your airline's website to see if they have a policy available for waiving cancellation and rebooking fees for your flight. Here are a few links to airlines we know have changed or waived their fees:
