Air traffic controller strike threatens disruptions at French airports

A planned air traffic controller strike in France on Thursday is expected to cause significant disruptions at the country’s airports, with airlines asked to cut flights by 75% at Paris-Orly airport, by 55% at Paris Charles-De-Gaulle airport, by 65% at Marseille airport, and by 45% at all other airports on April 25. The SNCTA union called off the strike after reaching a deal with management over working conditions, but the announcement came too late to avoid disruptions.
