Air France unions call for strike March 30

Air France flights face disruption March 30, as several of the carrier’s trade unions take strike action, which will also affect schedules on the carrier’s LCC subsidiary Joon. However, other airlines in the Air France Group, such as KLM and regional carrier HOP! will be unaffected by the dispute, which is the latest in a series of such strikes. Air France said: “Some flights may be canceled. Furthermore, in order to ensure the maximum number of flights with our reduced crew, we may have to limit the number of passengers on board some of our flights, meaning that we will not be able to honour all bookings.” During a similar strike March 23, Air France said it operated around 70% of its long- and medium-haul services, together with around 80% of its short-haul and domestic regional flights. <br/>
