Strikes could cause major problems
Airlines Ryanair and easyJet have warned passengers heading to France that they could face major delays and possible cancellations due to strike action. Air traffic control staff are walking out in the country, impacting flights.
EasyJet urged passengers to check their flights regularly until the air traffic control strike ends on March 23. A spokesperson for the airline said: “Air traffic control staff are joining the strike action and therefore like all airlines, our flights to and from French airports, as well as those flying in French airspace, could be affected.
EasyJet cabin crew in Portugal will be walking out over three days in early April over the cost of living, with a strike over pay and working conditions from April 1 to April 3. While tourists are unlikely to face any danger to themselves from the protests, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has warned travellers to France that they may face disruption to services as a result of the strikes.
