Air France strike enters third day

Monday, 20 March 20173 min read

Air France says more than 90% of flights will be operated today, on the third day of a cabin-crew walk out.

Two Air France cabin crew unions – SNPNC and Unsa PNC – walked out on Saturday in protest over general working conditions.

The unions represent just under half of the airline’s cabin crew.

Air France said it operated 98% of flights on Saturday and 90% of flights on Sunday. Long-haul flights have been unaffected, the airline said.

"Some flights may be cancelled. Furthermore, in order to ensure a maximum number of flights with a reduced crew composition, we may be forced to limit the number of passengers on board some of our flights which would mean we may not be able to honour all reservations," it said.

It said flights operated by an aircraft of other airlines, including HOP! would not be affected.

Passengers are being offered the chance to rebook at no extra costs.
