French aviation regulator cancels flights due to civil servants strike
DGAC ordered airlines to cut 5% of flights at Charles de Gaulle and 25% at Marseille-Provence to limit disruption during a civil servants strike.
- On Tuesday, France's civil aviation authority DGAC ordered airlines to cancel 5% of flights at Paris Charles de Gaulle between 07:00 am and 8:00 pm, and 25% at Marseille-Provence from 4:00 pm until midnight.
- Public-Sector unions staged nationwide demonstrations over a proposed pay freeze for civil servants, prompting flight reductions to maintain safety during labor action.
- Charles de Gaulle, operated by Aeroports de Paris and a main hub for Air France-KLM, faces the most significant operational constraints during peak hours, while Marseille's reductions concentrate on evening and night service.
- DGAC warned passengers to confirm flight status with airlines before travelling, with possible disruptions extending to regional airports in Nantes, Strasbourg, Limoges, Tarbes-Lourdes and Pau.
- While major hubs face targeted cuts, traffic will remain normal at other French airports, as the regulator's tiered approach limits disruption to facilities directly affected by strike action.
