Holidaymakers braced for second day of chaos due to strikes
French air traffic controllers initiated a second day of strikes on Friday, causing widespread flight cancellations and disruptions across France during the peak summer travel season. Ryanair announced it had cancelled 400 flights, affecting 70,000 passengers, while easyJet also scrapped numerous services due to the industrial action. The strike, led by the UNSA-ICNA union, is in protest over demands for improved working conditions, increased staffing levels, better pay, and against new monitoring reforms. The French Civil Aviation Authority had pre-emptively requested airlines to cut a significant percentage of flights from major French airports, including Paris Charles de Gaulle and Orly. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued a warning to travellers, advising them to check operator advice due to the ongoing industrial action.

Widespread travel disruption expected across France
French air traffic control unions have called for a strike on July 3 and 4, impacting flights across France. The French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) has requested airlines to significantly reduce flights, including 25 per cent at Paris airports and up to 50 per cent at other regional airports like Nice and Bastia. The strike, initiated by UNSA-ICNA, seeks improved pay and increased staffing for air traffic controllers after failed negotiations. Passengers are advised to expect significant disturbances and delays at all French airports and should consider changing their flights if possible. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued a warning, urging travellers to monitor operator advice and local authorities' guidance.
