This is the end of the conflict in Paris airports.

Employees of the Aéroports de Paris (AFP) group voted to end the strike on Friday, after management and unions showed their optimism.

Good news for travellers, which is timely before the big departures.

The prospect of flight cancellations affecting thousands of passengers had already receded on Thursday with the signing of an agreement between Groupe ADP, manager of Roissy, Orly and Le Bourget airports, and the company's firefighters.

The employees endorsed an agreement providing for a general increase of 3% for all employees of Groupe ADP, manager of the airport facilities, as well as a salary upgrade for some 1,800 employees whose salaries are below the 2019 reference level. , according to details provided by the CGT.

The firefighters' strike, which began on June 30, resulted last week in the cancellation of hundreds of flights departing from or arriving at Roissy, France's leading airport.

Compensate for inflation

Thursday evening, trade unions had also expressed their optimism, while an offer from management was submitted to a general meeting of staff on Friday morning.

It is a "rather interesting proposal which allows to reverse the salary reductions granted by the employees in 2021, and provides for an increase corresponding to the level of what has been seen in other transport companies", a detailed to AFP the union representative of the CGT at ADP, Daniel Bertone.

The unions argue that the increases requested would offset inflation which is approaching 6% over one year, while ADP employees had agreed to reduce their salaries to allow the company to weather the Covid-19 crisis. which has divided by three the number of customers of Paris airports in 2020.
