In the last few days I have noticed a lot of extended detours on the routings of European commercial aircraft eg. LPPT to EDDL via EGPX LND & the South Coast of the UK; or LEMD to EFHK via a route across the middle of the MED to Southern Italy instead of the more normal direct (almost) routings.

Does anyone have any info. on the reason for this?

Bloody French are/were on strike!
