An air traffic controller strike set for Wednesday will force the cancellation of one in five flights from the main Paris hub Roissy and one-half of all flights from the smaller Orly airport, officials said.
France's DGAC civil aviation authority also warned that Wednesday’s stormy weather forecast will likely add to the travel disruptions.
French unions have called on air traffic controllers to go on strike from Tuesday evening until Thursday morning to protest plans to integrate French air traffic control into a European system.
Fox World Travel will continue to monitor this situation and keep you informed of further developments.
