Tumultual Strike Largest Paris Airport and affects flight to several cities

In addition to connections to Parisian airports from Paris-Challe and Orly, the two largest in the country, DGAC required airlines to cancel a quarter of their flights in Beauvais, a “low-cost” airport near the capital, among others, aircraft aircraft Ryanair.

“Despite these preventive measures, disturbances and important delays are expected in all French airports,” the administration warned.

After two fruitless “conciliation” meetings with DGAC, the last on Monday, the second union of controllers, Unsa-Icna, maintained his call to strike on Thursday (3) and Friday (4).

The union organization, which obtained 17% of the votes in the last professional elections, considered that the administration has not offered “any response to the alerts transmitted for weeks”, and mentioned among its complaints “failed technical projects” and a “toxic management”.

“DGAC recognizes difficulties related to the situation of chronic lack of personnel, which affect the quality of the service provided to airlines. It is precisely to remedy that defends an ambitious recruitment plan, inserted in a multiannual strategy, to ensure efficient and safe service,” the administration had stated last week.

The institution also expressed “deep regret for the choice of these dates (July 3 and 4), which correspond to the busiest days of the year, due to the large number of vacation matches during this period”.
