Strike likely to affect 70% of flights at major French airports

France’s air traffic controllers’ union is planning to strike on April 25 to protest the restructuring of air navigation services and demand a hike in salaries and employee numbers, with the action likely to force cancellations of up to 70% of flights at major airports in the country, Euronews reported citing Les Echos. The action is also likely to affect flights that need to enter French airspace, even if they do not take off or land in the nation.
