On June 26, 2026, France joined a series of coordinated air traffic control strikes across several European countries, significantly affecting air travel throughout the continent. The strikes are ongoing today and have led to widespread disruptions at numerous airports and in overflight operations.
Alongside France, the countries involved in the strikes include Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Greece. These collective actions have resulted in major disturbances such as flight delays and cancellations, further complicating travel plans for passengers departing from or transiting through Europe. The strikes have contributed to a breakdown in aviation flow and tourism network operations across
the affected region.
