On Thursday, air traffic controllers in France had planned to go on strike, which would have had a significant impact on aviation. However, at the last minute, the majority union SNCTA decided to lift its strike notice after reaching an agreement through conciliation. This decision allowed each controller to cancel their strike declaration despite the deadline passing.
The strike was called due to negotiations failing regarding the accompanying measures for an overhaul in air traffic control in France. The reform aimed to increase productivity, as an SNCTA official stated. Initially, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) had announced that 75% of flights at Orly and 65% at Roissy Charles de Gaulle would be canceled on Thursday. This meant that an average of 60% of flights were at risk of being canceled at all French airports.
The unexpected turn of events provided relief to travelers and airlines who were bracing for extensive flight disruptions. Hopefully, this agreement will lead to long-term solutions that benefit both the industry and its workers.
