Airlines Ryanair and easyJet have warned passengers heading to France that they could face major delays and possible cancellations due to strike action. Air traffic control staff are walking out in the country, impacting flights.
The walkouts are part of a wave of industrial action in France with protests breaking over the increase of the pension age from 62 to 64. President Emmanuel Macron narrowly survived a no-confidence vote after he decided to push the change through without a parliamentary vote, The Mirror reports.
EasyJet urged passengers to check their flights regularly until the air traffic control strike ends on March 23. A spokesperson for the airline said: “Air traffic control staff are joining the strike action and therefore like all airlines, our flights to and from French airports, as well as those flying in French airspace, could be affected.
