Unlike previous days of strikes, the disruptions will be greater in air than in rail. Tuesday evening, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) thus asked companies to give up 30% of their flights on Thursday at Paris-Orly airport, due to a strike by air traffic controllers. This is more than during the first three days of mobilization during which 20% of movements had to be canceled at Orly.
And this time, other airports are affected such as those of Toulouse, Montpellier, Marseille and Nantes. The DGAC has demanded that carriers cancel 20% of their movements there. Disruptions and delays are therefore to be expected throughout the territory.
Air France, for its part, indicated that it was able to fly 9 out of 10 aircraft on its short and medium-haul flights and “all of its long-haul flights”.
