Warning

Event

Unions representing Air France pilots, flight attendants, and ground crew staff are planning to hold strikes on Friday, March 30, Tuesday, April 3, and Saturday, April 7. If the strikes go ahead, significant flight disruptions (delays and cancelations) are likely.

Context

Eleven unions representing Air France staff have called for the strike to demand salary increases after years of wage stagnation. A similar strike was held on March 23 and resulted in Air France canceling a quarter of its flights.

Potentially impacted travelers are advised to verify the status of their flights prior to departure for the airport and to contact the airline for more information.
