French air traffic controllers have called off a planned three-day strike, sparing travellers across Europe from major disruption.
The SNCTA union confirmed it was halting its industrial action scheduled for 7–9 October after reaching agreements and following the French prime minister’s decision to postpone debate on the finance bill. The union has been pressing for improved pay and working conditions.
Europe’s largest airline, Ryanair, warned the strikes could have led to the cancellation of around 600 flights per day, affecting up to 100,000 passengers. UK travellers were expected to be among the hardest hit, as many flights crossing French airspace are rerouted or cancelled during stoppages.
Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary reiterated calls for EU action, saying flights over France should be protected during walkouts.
