While the biggest union representing the French ATC workers, the SNCTA, said it will call off the strike on Wednesday after a last-minute deal with management over working conditions, many airlines went ahead with cancellations due to the expected disruption after France's civil aviation authority asked firms to cut flights.
In a statement on their website, Ryanair said: "Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today announced cancellations of over 300 flights, due to tomorrow’s French ATC strike on Thursday, 25 th April. This is due to France’s failure to protect overflights during its national air strikes. Even though it’s French ATC that are striking, most disrupted passengers are not flying to/from France but overfly French airspace en route to their destination .
"We continue to monitor the situation and will update customers via our website or SMS messaging should the situation impact our flight schedule.
