A two-day strike by French air traffic controllers in July led to hundreds of flight cancellations and numerous delays. The unions, Unsa-Icna and Usac-CGT, are protesting for improved staffing levels and modernisation projects at the French civil aviation authority. They criticize the Directorate of Air Navigation Services for its authoritarian management style and emphasize the need for operational priorities to return to decision-making processes. The strike coincided with school holidays to maximize pressure on management while aiming to avoid peak travel disruptions.
Two unions, Unsa-Icna and Usac-CGT, are in dispute with flight control management, seeking change for better staffing and modernisation.
Strikes by air traffic controllers are highly disruptive, leading to flight cancellations for safety reasons and affecting not just domestic flights but those transit over France.
The unions denounce managerial excesses, citing an authoritarian management style that creates a climate of pressure and mistrust incompatible with air traffic safety.
Timing of the current strike, coinciding with the school holiday, aims to exert pressure on management to negotiate without impacting peak flight periods.
