Flights to and from France are set to be disrupted once again due
to yet more strike action in the country. Public sector unions are
due to stop work at 6pm local time tonight in a row over pension
reforms by the Government.
UK airlines affected
Ryanair has cancelled two flights, while EasyJet intended to operate
a normal schedule to and from France today. Disruption is possible,
however, as a result of the strike action which may place restrictions
on air travel. British Airways said it expected delays but had not
cancelled any flights. Passengers are also advised to allow plenty
of additional time to get to French airports as public surface transport
will be extremely limited.
Greece striking at same time
To add to the confusion, Greek Air Traffic Controllers are set to
strike for 24 hours from midnight local time tonight, causing disruption
to flights to and from the country. Operators have started to make
contingency plans to accommodate the strike, including changing
flight programmes to depart before or after the strike period.
