French air traffic control strike

6th September 2010 Air France have advised TD that some Air traffic controllers´ trade unions will take part in the general strike launched in France on Tuesday September 07.

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

Therefore, on September 7, Air France plan to reroute all customers and to operate:

- 100 % of our long-haul flights,
- 90% of our short and medium-haul flights at Paris-Charles de Gaulle,
- 50% of our short and medium-haul flights at Paris-Orly.

Air France 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.
