France asks airlines to reduce flights due to planned air traffic controller strike

The French civil aviation agency said on Tuesday it had asked airlines to reduce flights at Paris’ airports by 25% on July 3 following notification of a strike by air traffic controllers.
The agency said it had also asked airlines to reduce flights from Nice, Bastia and Calvi by 50% and from Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Ajaccio and Figari by 30%.
“Despite these preventative measures, disturbances and significant delays are to be expected at all French airports,” the agency said, adding that passengers should change their flights if they are able to do so.- (FRANCE 24 with Reuters)
