France: Airport staff at Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport to strike 12:00-14:00 July 13

Event

Unionized ground staff at Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS) are to strike between 12:00-14:00 July 13. Airport fire crews are reported to be taking part in the work stoppage, potentially affecting the ability of aircraft to land and take off LYS. At least 27 flights are scheduled to arrive or depart during the strike period, with further flights likely to be affected following the conclusion of the industrial action as airport authorities clear any backlog.

This latest strike adds to Europe's ongoing aviation challenges as staffing shortages and other work stoppages have led to numerous canceled flights.

Advice

Confirm flights if booked to fly via LYS July 13. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Consider alternative travel arrangements if necessary and arrive at LYS early to allow extra time to clear passenger processing and airport security.
