On June 25, 2026, France became the latest European country to participate in ongoing coordinated air traffic control strikes affecting multiple nations across the continent.

Alongside Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, Greece, and others, the work stoppages have resulted in widespread flight delays, overflight disruptions, and significant air traffic operational challenges throughout Europe.

Passengers traveling within European airspace or on routes that cross the continent are likely to experience delays and possible cancellations due to these simultaneous strikes involving several countries’ air traffic controllers.
