France ATC Union Sets 24-Hour National Strike for Sept. 10, Disrupting European Flights

The walkout threatens overflights across Europe, with airport disruptions likely to complicate access to Disneyland Paris.

Overview

  • France’s largest air traffic control union has called a country‑wide walkout starting the morning of September 10 for 24 hours.
  • Because France controls key European airspace, airlines warn of reroutes, delays and possible cancellations for flights to, from and over France.
  • Disneyland Paris plans to operate as normal, though guest arrivals and daily crowd patterns could shift due to travel delays.
  • A broader transport movement could reduce rail and bus services, including potential slowdowns on Paris’s RER A line to Marne‑la‑Vallée.
  • Under EU rules, strike disruptions rarely trigger cash compensation, but carriers must offer rebooking, meals and hotels, and travelers are advised to add buffers, avoid connections, enable alerts and review insurance.
