After a first strike announcement in the sector this Thursday, another mobilization is planned in the coming weeks. The National Union of Air Traffic Controllers (SNCTA, majority) announced on Tuesday that it would file a new strike notice for the days of May 9, 10 and 11, for the Ascension Bridge.

The union, which contests the overhaul of air traffic control in France and demands compensation measures and salary increases, deplored in a press release the failure of conciliation “particularly on the question of social support” and once once more gives 15 days for public authorities to “take part in the search for solutions”.

“A huge impact”

This Thursday, the movement should be “strongly followed”, according to the main organization bringing together air transport companies (Fnam). “We were told regarding 75% [de vols supprimés] at Orly and 65% at Roissy Charles de Gaulle. It will have a huge impact,” announced its president, Pascal de Izaguirre.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) must communicate its flight cancellation forecasts late Tuesday followingnoon.

The air traffic control reform aims to “increase productivity”, according to an SNCTA official. The union wishes to “support this search for performance” via salary increases which would bring them closer to “European social standards”, according to the same source.
