Description
Air traffic controllers strikes in France, part of nationwide industrial action against the neoliberal pension reform plans, and also linked to the impact on air traffic from the war in the Ukraine, could cause major disruption in Easter holiday travel, according to airline officials. Ryanair's outspoken CEO O'Leary has recently called on the European Commission to apply minimum service legislation so that airlines are allowed to fly over French airspace during air traffic controller strikes, something which sounds rather risky for passengers. Eurostar trains were also cancelled during a general strike in France on 7 April 2023.
