The SNCTA, France’s largest air traffic control union, has announced a 24-hour strike from the morning of September 18 through the end of September 19. Representing about 60% of the country’s controllers, the union’s action is expected to cause major disruption to flights both within France and across its airspace, including routes to and from the UK, Spain, and Italy. The strike follows a breakdown in negotiations with the Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC). Fellow unions have not confirmed participation, but significant flight delays and cancellations are expected regardless. The DGAC will release details of impacted flights two days prior to the strike.   Advice: - Contact your airline in advance for updates on cancellations and rebooking options. - Build flexibility into travel plans, as both French and transit flights over France may be affected. - Monitor official updates from DGAC and Paris Aéroport: www.parisaeroport.fr.
