French Air Traffic Controllers’ Union Suspends Oct. 7–9 Strike After Conciliation

The suspension follows conciliation with the aviation regulator, with details of any agreements not yet public.

Overview

  • SNCTA, representing about 60% of controllers, suspended its Oct. 7–9 strike notice after consultations with the DGAC.
  • The union cited conciliation and unspecified agreements as well as the prime minister’s referral of the draft finance bill to parliamentary work.
  • It asked controllers to cancel any previously filed strike declarations for those dates.
  • Air traffic in France is not expected to be disrupted next week as a result.
  • Key demands remain unresolved, including a full 2024 inflation catch-up on salaries and changes to the profession’s governance.
