French air traffic controllers to strike

A call for strike action by several French air traffic controllers’ unions will disrupt air traffic from Tuesday 11 to Thursday 13 June 2013. The French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) has requested airlines to adapt their flight schedule on departure from and arrival to certain French airports. On 11 June, Air France has stated that it expects to transport all its customers on long-haul flights to and from Paris and to adapt its short and medium-haul flight schedule. As far as possible, Air France is recommending its customers with a reservation on short and medium-haul flights to postpone their trip
