Flight disruption warning due to French air traffic control strike

Airlines have warned of disruption until Tuesday morning due to the latest in a string of French air traffic control strikes 

EasyJet warned passengers that the action, which started at 7pm local time on Sunday, would run until 8am on Tuesday. 

The airline said: “We have been advised of an air traffic control strike affecting flights flying in and out of Paris, Lyon, Lille and Brest, as well as flights over French airspace. 

“We expect that there will be delays and some disruption due to the industrial action, therefore we advise all customers to check the status of their flight on our flight tracker.”

Jet2.com also alerted travellers to the industrial action and said:  “We will be working hard to ensure that the impact on our flights is minimal, however, you may encounter some disruption if you are travelling during this time. Please be prepared for possible longer than normal waits onboard your aircraft to depart.”

The French civil aviation authority DGAC advised passengers travelling to or from affected airports to delay their journeys if possible.
