Last-Minute Cancellation of French Air Traffic Controllers’ Strike: A Relief for Travelers and Airlines alike

On Thursday, air traffic controllers’ unions had planned to strike in aviation, which was expected to have a significant impact. However, the majority union SNCTA decided to lift its strike notice at the last minute. This decision was made after reaching an agreement through conciliation, allowing each controller to cancel their strike declaration despite the deadline passing.

Initially, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) had stated that 75% of flights at Orly and 65% at Roissy Charles de Gaulle would be canceled on Thursday. This meant that an average of 60% of flights were at risk of being canceled at all French airports. The strike was called after negotiations failed regarding the accompanying measures for an overhaul in air traffic control in France. The reform aimed to increase productivity, according to an SNCTA official.

Following the announcement of the majority union’s decision to lift the strike notice, travelers and airlines who were bracing for extensive flight disruptions were relieved. This unexpected turn of events provided hope for long-term solutions that benefit both the industry and its workers.
