The birds should find some peace this Thursday. With 75% of flights canceled this Thursday at Paris-Orly airport and 55% at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, according to a notification to companies consulted by AFP, the record mobilization promised by air traffic controllers is confirmed.
Also, despite the lifting of a strike notice from the majority air traffic controllers’ union, flight operations will remain very disrupted on Thursday in France.
65% in Marseille, 45% in other airports in mainland France
These reductions in flight programs requested by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) will reach 65% in Marseille-Provence and 45% in other airports in mainland France. These rates are, depending on the airports, identical to or slightly lower than the initial requests communicated Tuesday evening, before Wednesday’s announcement of an agreement to end the crisis with the majority union, the SNCTA.
