A last-minute air traffic control strike at Orly airport in Paris by members of Unsa-Icna on May 25 will lead to hundreds of flight cancellations including two Dublin rotations by Transavia and Vueling:
- Paris Orly to Dublin TO7900@07.35
- Dublin to Paris Orly TO7901@08.15
- Paris Orly to Dublin VY8578@18.20
- Dublin to Paris Orly VY8579@19.10
Seventy per cent of flights to or from Paris Orly airport will be cancelled due to action by air traffic controllers from 04:00 to 21:30. Other airports in France are unlikely to be affected unless through domestic flights to Orly.
The strike is centred around Paris-Orly, with flights over French airspace possibly being impacted. Members from two unions are participating in the strike for various reasons including understaffing and proposed reforms to the aviation sector. NCTA, accepted last-minute negotiations last month, but the second and third largest unions (Unsa-Icna and Usac-CGT) rejected these talks.
