French cabin crew staff strike causes flight disruption across Europe

If you are due to fly to France over the next couple of days, you may find that your flight has been cancelled, as cabin crew staff are staging industrial action until Tuesday, August 2.

The strike, which has been ongoing since Wednesday, is estimated to have disrupted the travel plans of up to 150,000 during the busiest time of the holiday season. In financial terms, the impact is likely to run into the tens of millions of euro.

The row centres around the extension of an agreement regarding rules, pay and promotions that expires in October.

Air France’s business and reputation has been tarnished in recent times due to successive periods of strike among pilots and cabin crew.
