China News Service, Paris, July 3 (Li Yang and Li Yue) On July 2, local time, a new round of strikes at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport entered the third day. The strike that day caused more than 100 flights to be cancelled.
According to French BFM TV, about 150 flights originally planned to take off and land at Charles de Gaulle Airport were cancelled on the 2nd, and some runways were forced to close.
According to figures from the Paris airport group, the strike mainly affects flights scheduled to take off and land at Charles de Gaulle Airport from 7 am to 2 pm on the 2nd.
A spokesman for the Paris airport group said that the operation of the flight on the day was consistent with the advance notice, and most of the flight cancellations had been notified to the corresponding passengers in advance, and there was no situation where a large number of passengers found their flights were temporarily cancelled after arriving at the airport.
This round of strikes started on June 30, and has entered its third day on July 2, which should end on the 3rd.
Negotiations between unions and Aéroporteur AG management have stalled again, with the two sides struggling to agree on a specific wage increase.
The management of Aéroports Aéroports said that although the latest negotiation ended in failure, the possibility of continuing dialogue between the two sides is still open.
The union has filed a new strike application and several strikes are planned in the near future, most recently from July 8 to 10.
French media reported that the strike from the 8th to the 10th may have a greater impact on people's travel. Next weekend will be the beginning of the French school summer vacation, which will be the peak period of people's travel by convention.
French government spokesman Gregoire said that the government will continue to communicate with trade unions to find a way out of the crisis, and that the strike cannot make it difficult for ordinary French people to travel.
