Flights to and from Norway hit by French air traffic control strike

According to Avinor, Norway’s airport operator, multiple flights have been cancelled due to the 24-hour walkout, which is expected to cause widespread disruptions across European airspace.

The strike, according to reports from the Norwegian news bureau NTB, stems from ongoing demands for improved working conditions and dissatisfaction with management.

While the strike is focused on France, it impacts all flights passing through French airspace, including those not scheduled to land in the country, potentially resulting in delays throughout the continent.

The strike by two unions representing French air traffic controllers begins on Thursday, July 3rd and continues into Friday, July 4th, albeit with only one union involved on Friday.

It’s likely that knock-on disruption will continue over the weekend.
