Air France issue strike update:

18th October 2010 Air France have released the following strike update:

General strike in France on Tuesday October 19, 2010.

Some Air traffic controllers' trade unions will take part in the general strike launched in France on Tuesday October 19.

As a result, French Civil Aviation Authorities have limited the number of flights for all airlines.

Therefore, on October 19, we plan to operate 100 % of our long-haul flights, and have had to cancel some domestic and european flights.

We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may cause you.
Our commercial services will do their utmost to inform you of flight cancellations and offer you alternative solutions where applicable, either on a flight with Air France, with KLM through Amsterdam, or with one of the SkyTeam alliance partners.
