Air France on Wednesday said it would only carry out three in four planned flights on Thursday and warned of travel delays and disruptions after worker unions called a strike over pay, according to the following report by Reuters.
Only half of the long-haul flights leaving Paris on Thursday would be going ahead, based on the airline’s forecast, which said it would cover 75 percent of middle distance flights to and from the city’s Charles de Gaulle airport.
Worker unions representing Air France pilots, cabin crew and ground staff called the strike amid demands for a 6 percent pay rise, which the airline has refused to satisfy.
Local media report that two flights will be cancelled on the Paris-Athens-Paris route as follows:
- February 22 – AF1032 Paris-Athens
- February 23 – AF1033 Athens-Paris
Customers are advised to call the airport in advance while those whose flight is cancelled, are promised to receive a full refund by the carrier.
