French Air Traffic Control Strikes Cause Flight Delays Across Europe
- On July 3, French air traffic controllers launched a two-day strike, causing widespread cancellations and delays across major airports in France and Europe.
- French air traffic controllers' strike stems from failed DGAC negotiations, systemic understaffing, and a toxic management culture, prompting union protests for better conditions.
- French air traffic controllers' strike led to 40% of Paris flights, half of Nice operations, and 30% at regional airports being canceled on July 3.
- Thousands face major delays, with 170 Ryanair flights canceled affecting over 30,000 passengers, as standard travel insurance may not cover strike-related disruptions.
- French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot called unions' demands 'unacceptable' and emphasized that safety reforms, including a clock-in system, are non-negotiable, indicating no immediate government concessions.
