Business travellers due to fly today 8 June or tomorrow 9 June can expect to be patient or to revise their flight plans. A movement by security agents has led to Paris Airport to invite passengers, via a tweet, to " plan ahead and check with your airline to make sure your flight is up to date" . If longer waiting times were to be expected today at checkpoints at CDG and Orly, Air France planned to operate its entire flight schedule, while stressing that delays were " nevertheless" .
It will be the same, and more, tomorrow 9 June following a strike called by certain service providers at several French airports, including those in Paris. The CGT union at Paris-CDG airport, denouncing the increasing job insecurity among its employees, called a joint strike on Thursday 9 June. As a result, for the CDG hub alone, the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) has invited airlines to reduce their flight schedules by 25% for departures and arrivals at Roissy between 7am and 2pm.
As a result, Air France has revised its schedule, with disruptions mainly affecting short- and medium-haul flights. While some long-haul flights will be affected by schedule changes, the French airline has announced " cancellations and schedule changes on certain short and medium-haul flights" . Information on these disruptions is available on the airfrance.fr website. At the same time, the airline points out that its airport teams and sales departments "are mobilised to inform customers and offer them measures to facilitate or postpone their journey free of charge".
