Air France faces eight strike days

Several pilot unions have called for eight days of strikes at Air France next week.

If it goes ahead the industrial action will start on Monday (15 September) and end the following Monday (22 September).

The airline said it is in constant dialogue with all the unions and will continue to hold talks in the next few days.

Air France said on its website: “It is too early to have an exact idea of the outcome of these talks and the consequences of this strike action on our flight schedule.
“If the strike does take place, the application of the Diard law will enable Air France to have a more accurate estimate of the number of employees declaring their intent to take part and the impact on our operations, 48 hours in advance.”

The carrier has allowed passengers due to travel during the period to travel earlier or after (until 30 September) at no extra charge. Those that want to fly after 30 September or cancel flights will be given a voucher with a year’s validity.
