On Thursday, 3 May 2018, Air France plans to operate almost 85% of its flights:

  • 78 % of its long-haul flights;
  • More than 80 % of its medium-haul flights on departure to and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle;
  • Close to 90 % of its short-haul flights, Paris-Orly and French provinces.

In view of a percentage of staff on strike, subject to the Diard law and expected to work on 3 May 2018, estimated at:

  • 18,8 % of pilots;
  • 18 % of cabin crew;
  • 10 % of ground staff.

The flight schedule is updated 24 hours in advance. Disruptions and delays are to be expected. Air France recommends its customers with a flight reservation on 3 May to postpone their trip.

Air France regrets this ongoing strike action at a time when company management has made several proposals to end the conflict and has launched a consultation with all staff on the agreement proposed on 16 April.

Air France regrets this situation and is making every effort to minimize the inconvenience this strike action may cause to its customers. How to postpone your trip.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
