On June 25, 2026, air traffic control personnel in France joined counterparts from Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Greece in a coordinated strike action. These simultaneous walkouts significantly affected the management of European airspace.
The strike led to widespread cancellations of flights along with disruptions to overflights across the affected countries. Aviation networks and tourism routes throughout Europe experienced considerable operational difficulties due to the limited air traffic services available during the strike.
