France: Unionized airline pilots plan to strike nationwide on Nov. 14.
Unionized airline pilots plan to conduct strikes at airports across France on Nov. 14. Flight disruptions likely.
Pilots affiliated with the National Union of Pilots (SNPL) plan to strike nationwide on Nov. 14 against government plans to increase taxes on airline tickets. While the SNPL has called for pilots to strike, other aviation personnel have also been invited to join the labor action.
Flight disruptions are likely at airports across France on Nov. 14. Lingering disruptions are possible on Nov. 15 as airlines work to clear passenger backlogs. Demonstrations are possible near airports during the strike period; a heightened security presence is likely near any demonstrations that occur.
Reconfirm all flight reservations if traveling to or from France Nov. 14-15. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Consider alternative transport arrangements. Allow extra time for airport passenger processing. Avoid any demonstrations that may materialize.
