Air traffic controllers have been protesting against the Single European Sky project since 11 June. Their strike, scheduled to continue in France until 13 June inclusive, is affecting the main airports: Roissy, Orly, Beauvais, Lyon, Nice, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux. According to the DGAC, 1,800 flights have been cancelled at these airports, out of a total of 7,650 flights in France. For its part, Air France plans "to transport all its customers on the long-haul network to and from Paris (...) and to adapt its short and medium-haul flight schedule", while warning that "last-minute delays and cancellations cannot be ruled out".
