The National Union of Airline Pilots (SNPL) has called a strike for this Thursday, November 14. A mobilization against the government amendment taken on November 8. The latter plans to take an additional billion euros per year from the air sector by significantly increasing the solidarity tax on plane tickets. And this will target all passengers departing from mainland France.
French companies are in fact the most handicapped by this law but despite everything, the disruptions are expected to be limited for passengers this November 14.
Reassuring companies
Air France and Transavia are planning delays at worst. “Air France plans to operate its entire flight program and transport all of its customers booked for this day. »
“For Corsair, we do not anticipate any disruptions due to this strike,” also declared the CEO of this company, Pascal de Izaguirre. Air Caraibes, Air Austral and French Bee are also maintaining their program.
But what about non-French low-cost companies like RyanAir in Beauvais-Tillé? The impact here also promises to be very limited. The flights still seemed to be scheduled the night before.
Easyjet, a similar company, does not anticipate “any cancellations”, according to a spokesperson.
In Lille-Lesquin, however, traffic could suffer from hazards according to Voix du Nord. “ Passengers will be informed via the usual channels », specifies the airport communications service. However, Volotea does not expect any major problems.
