This day promises to be crucial for the unions, which are counting on large-scale strikes and large processions throughout France, as in December 2019, to put pressure on the executive. In transport, rail traffic will be “very strongly disturbed“according to the SNCF. Only 1 train out of 3 will run on the North and South-East axis, 1 TGV out of 4 will travel on the East axis, 1 TGV out of 5 will operate on the Atlantic axis. On the Ouigo network, 1 train out of 3 will move.
On the Ile-de-France network, partly managed by the RATP, major disruptions are expected.
Lines 8 and 10 will be completely closed.
Lines 2, 3, 3bis, 5, 6, 7, 7bis, 9, 11 and 12 will only be open during peak hours and partially operated.
On line 4, 1 in 2 trains will run during peak hours and 1 in 4 during off-peak hours.
Traffic will be normal on automatic lines 1 and 14, but with a risk of saturation.
There will also be only one TER out of 10.

As far as the air sector is concerned, some flights have been canceled as a preventive measure by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC). At Orly, one in five planes will stay on the ground. Note that overseas flights are not affected by cancellations.
