Air France strike enters sixth day

Friday, 01 Aug, 2016 0

Air France says it will operate over 80% of domestic and medium-haul flights and 95% of its long-haul flights today – the sixth day of a strike by its cabin crew.

But the airline has repeated its warning to travellers that last-minute cancellations, delays and restrictions on passenger numbers on some flights.

Hundreds of flights have been disrupted since the cabin crew strike began, on July 27.

Passengers due to travel tomorrow, the last day of the strike, will be informed today about the situation, Air France has said.

A statement on the Air France website says: "In the meantime, we would like to assure you that our teams are fully mobilised and will do their utmost to assist you and minimise the impact of this industrial action on your travel plans."

Customers who wish to postpone their trip can postpone travel from 3 to 12 August 2016 inclusive at no extra cost in the same class of travel.

Passengers can also postpone their trip beyond 12 August, or if they no longer wish to travel, can receive of a non-refundable voucher valid one year on Air France, KLM or Hop!
