Take his troubles patiently. Some 10% of flights departing from or arriving at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) are canceled this Thursday, June 30 due to a social movement which concerns the firefighters at the French airport, against the backdrop of wage negotiations, and which could extend to other categories of employees, said Wednesday the manager of the airport and the authorities.
The General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has thus “asked the airlines to preventively cancel part of the flight schedule. We will thus be able to ensure more than 90% of the flights on the day”. More specifically, the DGAC has ordered carriers to cancel 17% of their flights between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. for questions of security of airport operations. “We invite passengers to check the news of their flight with their company and to anticipate their arrival at the airport: three hours for an international flight, two hours for a domestic or European flight.”
In order to limit the impact on passengers, “Groupe ADP (Aéroports de Paris) is in permanent contact with the various operational players of Paris-CDG, airlines and air navigation”, said the same source.
