Marseille ATC is calling for more strikes this Saturday and Sunday. ATC controllers in Barcelona and Spain are short staffed, working days and will be going on strike.
Personally and behalf of my passengers I am tired of the air traffic controls strikes. Delay slots and cancelled flights, in the end many passengers blame the airlines.
Its time for both parties to resolve their differences and sit down and find a solution, enough already. Have you been affected?
“It’s really a significant issue. We thought it would get better in 2018 but it’s getting worse,” Walsh said. France has been a particular problem area for airlines, where public sector workers have staged a series of protests over the government’s economic reforms. IAG’S airlines, which also include Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling, are having to spend more on fuel to travel via alternative routes to bypass French airspace, Walsh said. “We end up paying compensation to customers. It’s completely outside our control,” he added, saying millions of passengers were affected and it cost airlines tens of millions of euros.
