French ATC strike leads to renewed calls for action plan
This week’s 2-day strike by French air traffic controllers has led to renewed calls by A4E for an action plan to minimise disruption in the event of further disputes. The strike, March 20-21, significantly reduced the number of services able to operate to and from French airports and added to journey times. The dispute centered around a protest over changes in working arrangements and higher workloads and cut capacity at French airports by as much as 33%. Eurocontrol reported there had been “extensive” flight delays in the regions surrounding several French regional airports during the two-day dispute. A4E said its members had experienced 500 cancellations over the 2 strike days, with the number of delayed flights being considerably higher. <br/>
