Public sector strike in France on October 10th - some AF cancellations

Public sector strike in France, which will also result in some air traffic controllers going on strike.

The DGAC has said that airlines have been asked to reduce their scheduled flying by 30%.

Air France announced that all their longhaul flights and 75% of their short and medium haul flights will operate. (Don't ask my how they'll do what the DGAC has asked them to do, i.e. reduce by 30%)

Air France offers possibilities for rebooking, etc., as usual.

More information on their website. French version is here

they act like everything will be back to normal on the 11th - is that likely? (I travel through CDG on the 12th)

I was forewarned of this back when the general action was announced. The strike will affect other public secteurs as well (transports).

I have a short-haul métropole flight tomorrow, crossing my fingers.
