If you have booked an Air France flight, or thinking of doing so, you may wish to check with the airline first as its pilots are set to go on industrial action for the period from 11 to 14 June 2016.
This is the latest in a long string of industrial unrest in France, and it follows several months of strike action by air traffic controllers there.
Air France released a statement through its website. It reads:
“It is too early to have a clear view of the outcome of these talks and the consequences of this strike action on our flight schedule.
As soon as we will have a more accurate estimate of the number of employees on strike and the impact on our operations, our flight schedule will be adapted accordingly and published the day before your departure.
Please note that Air France flights operated by an aircraft of other airlines, including HOP, KLM and Delta, are not affected by this strike.From this moment, we invite you to check your travel in the « Your reservations » section. If your flight is planned “operated by KLM”, or any other partner airline, the call for strike will not affect your journey.
If the flight is operated by Air France, we advise you, before going to the airport, to check flight information updated in real-time on our website, in the “Flight and airport info” section.
In the meantime, we would like to assure you that our teams are fully mobilized and will do their utmost to assist you and minimize the impact of this industrial action on your travel plans.
Nevertheless, without waiting, if you are travelling on a flight operated by Air France, we propose you to anticipate or postpone your departure to avoid the period from 11 to 14 June 2016 if you have the opportunity.”
