Strike action by Air France pilots is currently causing disruption to short, medium and long-haul services. The carrier says that over a quarter (27 per cent) of its pilots are taking part in the four day walkout, which lasts until Tuesday June 14. Air France has posted a series of updates on its website to advise customers of potential disruption to services. Today (Monday June 13) the carrier expects to operate 79 per cent of flights, as follows:
  • 85 per cent of long-haul flights from Paris
  • 85 per cent of domestic flights
  • 72 per cent of medium-haul flights to and from Paris-CDG
Tomorrow (Tuesday June 14) Air France is forecasting to operate around 80 per cent of services, as follows:
  • 85 per cent of long-haul flights
  • 80 per cent of domestic flights
  • 75 per cent of medium-haul flights to and from Paris-CDG
The carrier has updated its flight schedules at airfrance.com, but warns that there "may be last-minute cancellations and delays".
Delta, Hop!, KLM and Transavia services are not affected by the strike action, and Air France says customers who are booked on a flight between June 11 and 14 can change their trip "whether their flight is cancelled or not".
The carrier said that over 640,000 messages had been since June 9, to "individually inform customers in real time".
