easyJet statement on French Air Traffic Control industrial action
easyJet has been advised by the French DGAC of planned industrial action by employees of the Air Traffic Control services in France on Thursday 10 October. The French authorities have advised all airlines to expect disruption to
flights with the biggest impact expected to be in the southern areas of France. As a consequence, easyJet has been asked by DGAC to reduce its flights from both Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly to southern European destinations by 30%. Flights to Basel, Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseilles, and Toulouse are also likely to be impacted.
The strike will also impact all flights that over-fly the affected French airspace. More than 60 per cent of easyJet’s flights operate through French airspace and so there is a risk of late notice cancellations depending on the severity of the effect of the strike action.
All passengers due to travel on cancelled flights will be advised via email and details of these cancellations will also be listed on easyJet’s website. easyJet therefore strongly recommends that passengers check the status of their flight on
Cheap flights before travelling to the airport. For any passengers whose flight is cancelled easyJet will offer a full refund or they can change their flight booking free of charge on
Cheap flights. We would like to reassure passengers that we will do all possible to minimise the delays and will keep passengers informed of any updates. Despite the fact that this disruption is beyond easyJet’s control – we apologise in advance for the inconvenience that this will cause to our customers.
