It's that time of year again!! French air traffic controllers are striking on 9 days between Wednesday and 2nd May. Bon chance.

i have found this info on forthcoming strikes too. !

D'autres perturbations à prévoir. Le syndicat des contrôleurs aériens, qui réclame un accord social portant sur l'organisation du travail, les retraites ou encore les licences, entre autres, a déposé un préavis de grève pour trois périodes : 8 et 9 avril, du 16 au 18 avril et du 29 avril au 2 mai.

on a personal basis that is a relief for me as we have flights Booked out of Girona 14th and back in on the 21st. ( to Poland but i expect it would mess them up as well!!!)

This is the latest announcement by Air France. No doubt other airlines will follow.

Can anyone help on exactly how long the next ATC strike is due to last. The first was originally billed as being from 8th April to 10th April, but in practice ran from 4am on the 8th to 4am on the 10th - so Ryanair flights involving France on the 10th seem to have been unaffected (unlike the 8th and 9th).

The next strike is being described by the ATC union, SNCTA, on its website as being 'from 16th April to 18th April'. We're booked on the Stansted/Perpignan flight at 0650am on the 18th and are hoping that the strike will be over by then - but would welcome any other information or comments.

It seems there will be nothing definite until further talks have taken place on Monday.

Some good news - it seems today's talks have resulted in the suspension of this week's ATC strike, but not that from 29 April to 2 May.

That is different to what the Connexion says. Which is correct?
