IATA DG and CEO Tony Tyler has strongly condemned a six-day strike by French ATC personnel. In a statement, Tyler said: “Unions bent on stopping progress are putting at risk the hard-earned vacations of millions of travelers, and from the public’s perspective, the timing of the strike could even be regarded as malicious.
