💨 Abstract

A strike by French air traffic controllers seeking better working conditions led to about 40% of flights being canceled at Paris airports, affecting tens of thousands of passengers during the summer travel season. Disruptions started Thursday and worsened Friday. Airlines like Ryanair canceled over 400 flights, impacting 70,000 passengers. Unions demand better staffing and higher wages, while the transport minister criticized the timing of the strike.
