French strikes set to cause further disruption
Further travel disruption is expected in France over the next few weeks as unions call for more protests and strike action across the country.
More than 200 flights were cancelled earlier this week as part of industrial action by French air traffic controllers.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office is now warning of further disruption and delays to transport on September 21 and 23.
“French unions have called for protests and strike action across France and this could cause disruption and delays to transport services including rail networks and some maritime ports; you should allow extra time for your journey,” it said.
Workers across France are protesting against planned changes to the country’s labour laws.
